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.
