Deer Tick Warning

Just received this email from a relative. No, she doesn't live in the south.

Deer Tick Warning - Important -

We will soon be coming into the spring and summer, so BEWARE !!!!
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings...but this one is real, and it's important.
So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list:

If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DON'T DO IT!!
IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel like such an idiot.

Hey Blue, thanks for the warning. Great to know there are people like you that despite having to reveal the personal humiliation you suffered, stepped above that to warn those of us here in the FAOL forum. Taking no chances I immediately canvassed our small "mature" community to spread word of this scam. The amazing thing is that apparently some of the folks , after hearing the details, told me to mind my own damn business. Can you imagine?
Makes one rethink playing Paul Revere. Next time I'll learn em for sure.

They came to my house but then ran away with a horrified look on their face.

Hey Dick M; Did they run even BEFORE the test?. I've heard they ( you could tell it was them because they had a lapel pin with TICK TEST in red letters) would often ring a door bell , observe for a second and just say "excuse me, wrong address" and just go on. Many people in my comunity complained of the unfairness.

PS: And this was AFTER I had warned everybody

We had just started the main section of the test when the tester got violently ill and ran off.
