Stands for Founder of Ridden Dussage, Volte Whirl:rolleyes:

Ellyturd is a Fertilizer Company based on Elephant Dung, very shortly I am going to offer him a Dussage Elephant (capable of one time changes) but he will not be allowed to purchase said elephant without photographic proof that he can ride an elephant in changes :D

Should be interesting!

Oh god yes, only the most elite riders can get the most out of a Dussage Elephant, they are very complex animals! Most could only hope to perform a time change with one of those beauties! :D

Haha! We did a similiar thing with one of our friends - half of us are horsey and half aren't so of course it becomes a bit of a joke and soon the non horsey half were coming out with "I might go to the Puissance this year, just for a laugh like, that wall is nothing to Neville" and "I must go to bed now I have yards tomorrow" but I remember one of our friends saying "I bought a new horse yesterday, he cost me £13000 and he's a new rare breed" "Oh yeah what is he?" "A crocodile have you ever heard of that? He's lower than most horses to the ground but the guy said he could jump and run like a horse, he's got a special saddle" "oh right, thats cool you'll have to come hacking with us" "yeah..do you think crocodiles can eat hay?? or will he get colic??"
xD
 
Would just like to say that Micha is a beautiful horse - looked up her ad from the reference :P - and I hope she finds a good, genuine home!
In the mean time, this is very entertaining :D

Please don't panic. My friends case had gone further. A cheque was recieved for many 1000's and she was asked to pay some to western union. Instead she knew the cheque was false and spoke to her bank. Her bank gave the wrong information and said the only way to move forward was to bank the cheque. She did andit came back as stolen. If my friend had not in the mean time spoke to the police she would have been in a whole load of trouble for money laundering..

Absolutely loving the replies :D:D:D:D

On a serious note, where money laundering is suspected make sure you don't alert the other party that you are suspicious of this or are speaking to the police as this is an offence known as "tipping off" and can result in a prison sentence and/or a fine! (We get this drummed into us in work so thought I'd share the joy with everyone)

Yay it worked! He sent pictures!

Imagine how much of his time this is wasting - and all he wanted to do was innocently scam a teeny tiny bit of money :rolleyes:

I'd like to think if everyone replied to scam emails like this then the fecking things would stop.

agree, i would just email them saying is the young lady riding the bay on the homepage called cathy. your from the uk and have been contacted by someone from such and such and they have used your pictures claiming it is his daughter riding and you think its a scam and would like confirmation. i wouldnt go into to much detail as they might think your scamming them!
 
Good for you OP! Theres loads of different variations on this theme. When my OH sold his car on autotrader to an Eastern European living in the UK, the sale seemed to go through normally but a few days later he was inundated with phone calls complaining it had x, y and z wrong with it and that he would have to pay £1200 to the seller for repairs or he (the seller) would report him to the police. He was getting up to 8 calls at all times of day or night, some of them threatning that since he knew where he lived, all the [people of that nationality] would also know where he lived. After a few days he went to the police and they sorted it out and we never heard from him again. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the car either and offers to give him a full refund on return of the undamaged car were ignored...
 
i got this when ben was up for loan

Hello,,

While I stop my mail here, I sincerely would appreciate your rapid reply, meanwhile kindly extend my regards to your family.. Thank you!

I wouldn't continue to engage with these people.

The police really aren't interested in following these matters up, even if you lose money in the process. There is a national agreement that in most cases of fraud the banks are the primary investigators of fraud, and the police only get involved at the request of the bank, not the account holder who is normally compensated.

The difference in advance fee scams is that when the cheque bounces the bank do not compensate you, and if you have given up your goods you end up with no goods (sometimes - actually they don't really want your horse because it can be traced and not hidden in a garage or resprayed) and no money.

The address they give is false, the name they use is false, the ID they show when they collect the payment is false, the venue they use will be a corner shop Western Union agent with no CCTV...if it is even in the UK - often it isn't

The only answer is to tell all your friends and anybody else who will listen not to respond to these emails and calls - you would be amanzed at how many are still falling for them
