Bogus buyers

[Lynne21]

Have got a horse for sale advert on a website and have received a very interesting question re full price excluding shipping for the 'item' (my horse is not any old 'item'

). Buyer is very interested cos 'i have been looking for this item for very long time' etc.. you know the ones!

Have replied to the email as follows:
Dear ****,
I have passed your very obvious scamming details on to the relevant authorities.
Many thanks for your interest.

I'd have just deleted it. Now they have your email address from the reply. They don't see your email address when they click an "email the seller" link do they?

I got similar emails myself when I was selling a horse. Makes you wonder who does fall for them doesn't it?

Good luck selling your horse.

Don't they just drive you crazy. Usually, they don't see your email address.
