Exclamation HOAX this is important.

This is serious




Hoax warnings don't usually scare me, but this one is important. Please send it to everyone in your email list.




If someone comes to your door and says they are conducting a survey, and asks you to show them your arse, DO NOT show them your arse.





This is a scam; they just want to see your arse.









I wish I'd got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

I have to admit, I fell for this one, too..

At first I said, " NO WAY!"

But this girl was quite attractive and told me that if i showed her mine, she would show me hers!

Yes, you can guess what happened. I showed mine............. Duped.

Fell for the bum deal. (or was it the bum, bum deal?)
