    Hoax warnings don't usually scare me, but this one is important.

    If someone comes to your front door and says they are conducting a survey
    and then 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 been told about this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

    :v:

    Whats the worst hoax you've been caught out by? I know a couple of newspapers have done a few good ones, but what really caught ya?

    *Move it along if you wish, gave me a little chuckle

    Two good looking 18 year old women came up to my car as I was leaving the shopping centre. One started wiping my windshield with a rag while the other comes to my window saying "Hi" while bending over with her breasts almost coming out of her blouse.
    It was impossible not to look. When I thanked them and offered them a tip, they say "No" and begged me for a ride to another shopping centre. I agreed and told them to sit in the back seat.
    On the way, they start having sex with each other in the back seat. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on me, while the other one stole my wallet.

    I was assaulted last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but I couldn't find them Saturday or Sunday. :D
    Be careful !!!!!!
