    don't forget!

    If someone comes to your front door and says they are conducting a survey and then asks you to show them your bum, DO NOT show them your bum. This is a scam; they just want to see your bum. I wish I'd known about this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

    Yes. It could happen to you to. You can protect against this scam in one of three ways:

    1. Send me money. 1,000 quid should do.
    2. Use superglue to glue your pants to your bum.
    3. Scan your bum using a flatbed scanner and email the image to everyone in your address book. Tell them to forward it to anyone who might be at risk, with a scanned image of their own bum. That will show the scammers.
