Just one to watch out - my horse is currently up for sale and I had an email from someone called Clark asking how much would you take for this? Do get back soon, Clark.
I replied as i found the email in my junk box which was sent 5 days before so i asked if he was still looking. I found it a bit dodgy as he said what price would you take for "this"....not her, or the horse.
I then got a long email from him stating he was on a business trip in Malaysia and that he wants to buy the horse for his daughter and can arrange legitimate transport etc as his daughter lives on a farm out there. He keeps mentioning money and asking he wants to know the mode of payment. He asked all the right questions at the end of the email - whats the reason for sale, any vices etc but i knew it was dodgy and haven't replied. I then googled his name Clark Roberts, and a link to the horseabout website came up with his name saying its a big scam and for everyone to beware.
I know most are aware of situations like this but this particular person has been doing it recently as he only emailed me today!. Another is going around with someone wanting to pay via Paypal for a horse without viewing it either.
Just thought id share!!!
