Normally, I don't even bother to read this sort of chain-email, even from friends, but some times it's better to be safe than sorry.
A good friend from London passed this along:
If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your arse, do not show him your arse.This is a scam; he only wants to see your arse.
She followed with this postscript.
I wish I'd got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.
This 'arse' word confuses and intimidates me, so I went to babelfish to translate it.
Unfortunately, there's no 'English to Limey', so I went through Korean and back.
"The man comes to your front gate and he talks that it will do a question investigation your anus in him, and in you be visible, your anus in him he asks he is not visible to dry. This is fraud,; He increases the grade your anus report Sip."
Aaaaaah.
