Horsemart and emails?

[thumpbug]

Evening everyone,
Was just wondering if anyone has now (or has ever) experianced getting weird emails through,
The other day i got one off someone through horsemart saying they rugently wanted to buy my pony and was called 'Capt. John James' Anyway,i responed (like a fool) and said if they was that interested they could ring the number on the ad anyway they emailed me back about a 2 page long story saying he was a capt. in iraq and and needed to get 16.2 mill pound here or something,then later in the email asked for my name and address. I understand this could quite obviously be spam but then tonight i've got another through reading
'Hello,
am Alejandro,i came across your horse advert,am so much interested in buying your horse to my family,before i can proceed further in having your horse i need you to give me a current condition of the health of your horse also is it registered,more photos will be welcome. i look forward for your reply.'

this sounds a lot more realistic,yet something still doesnt ring right? :/ has anyone ever had this problem?
Thankyou,
xxxx

It is another scam. Ignore it completely. Your name may have been put on a list of people who might be taken in just for responding to the first email. If in doubt google a section of text - There are lots of websites dedicated to this sort of trash.
Genuine horse buyers won't buy a horse unseen and usually have enough english to communicate effectively.
good luck and be careful.
