I hate it when people forward bogus warnings…but this one is real, and it’s important. So please send this warning to everyone you know:
If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! IT IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.
I wish I’d gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid. :fryingpan:
Margery Scott says:
Hey, scam or not, I’d be happy if SOMEBODY wanted to see me naked 🙂

hm…well since I rarely answer my front door except when I’m expecting a delivery…I think I’m safe
(I peek around the corner, and if I don’t know them, I don’t answer if I’m home alone. Thank goodness deliver men drive big trucks I can see!)
I has been hot here though. The nakey thing doesn’t sound half bad… :wave:

But just think of the fun you would have missed!!!
And, boy at the fun I would have missed if I hadn’t read The Honeymoon Man. I loved the story. Utterly wonderful hero, no bitchy female and a host of fun from first page to the last. Thanks!

Mary Stella says:
Aww, Suzanne, you fell for the tick scam? The one that got me was the guy who arrived in one of those anti-contamination suits, complete with helmet, like they wore toward the end of E.T. He swore that I needed to be hosed down immediately because the mosquito sprayer had released the wrong batch of chemicals.
:shocked: 😆

That was no scam for me – it was my nosey neighbor who has found out that I do my housework in the nude. I am not much to look at but he is pretty old and needs all the help he can get!LOL :lol:Thanks for the laugh – it is a great way to start the day.:yes:

Huh! What’s this? I just opened my little parcel and in it is a book by Suzanne Dye. Do I know her? Oh! It’s THE HONEYMOON MAN. So it must have something to do with Suzanne McMinn! Yep, there’s the name inside. Whew! I thought some strange person was sending me a book.:grin:
Thanks for the book, Suzanne. It arrived today.
As for the other: I don’t think they’d like to see me in the 😯 ‘nothing’together. I’m not a looker like you.

Alyssa says:
LOL! I needed that laugh. Although it is getting so hot I almost wish someone would ask me to dance naked.
I received The Honeymoon Man and I’m almost finished. I really like it! I’m planning to blog about it. Thanks so much for your generosity in sending it!

Hi, Sigrun! Yes, I wrote four books under the name Suzanne Dye some years back. I was writing romance for several different houses at the same time and there were some contractual issues.
Alyssa, thanks!
