First, let me say that I'm fully aware that by making the following admission, I will be joining the ranks of Katie et al.
We've all heard a million sob stories about people, whom we are associated with by varying degrees of seperation, being 'scammed'. The internet is chock full o' such sordid tales. And, unfortunately, the sheer abundance of such tragic accounts has left us all a little desensitized. We can't help becoming numb, it's human nature. And that is precisely what stops people from spreading information that could potentially prevent disaster.
Anyway, I guess what I'm getting around to saying is this... I, too, hate these stupid hoax warnings but I hope you take this one seriously. Had I heard of the scam I'm about to relate to you, I probably would have dismissed it, just as you probably already have. Please don't. Seriously.
I consider myself to be a rather intelligent individual, and I like to think I am blessed with a healthy dose of skepticism. A lot of fu[/i]cking good that did me.
To make an already long story shorter, a well dressed gentleman showed up at my door a couple evenings ago. He was caucasian, polite, and clean shaven. He informed me that he was conducting a survey and that, for informational purposes, he wanted to see my ***.
If such a man comes to your house, do not show him your ***. It's a scam; he only wants to see your ***.
I should have known.
