Well long story short.
After an advert placed on Horsemart I got a reply off a gentleman who seemed rather genuine.
After exchanging a few e-mails In the heat of the moment I didn't realise it could be a scam-like nature or such so initially I give him my Paypal e-mail and haven't got a reply back since. However he asked for the Farm Name and address which I give to him, then after having 2 hours of no reply I scanned over the e-mails and realised they were in broken English such as
"Thanks for your swift response.Am away on a business trip now and am ready to make the payment but don't have access to my account online but i only have access to my PayPayl here and i can make payment to you via PayPal.Kindly furnish me with your PayPal email address so that i can make the payment to you without any further delay and instruct the shipping company to come for the pick up of the horse."
Ugh I feel so silly and now I'm stuck on what to do. I was totally unaware of these scams until a silly though crossed my mind for the lack of reply. Now i'm absolutely stressed for the welfare of my mare. I'm phoning the fraud line right now. Ugh.
