My friends horse has sold via HM in 6 hours...Or is it a scam?

i would just email them back and saying im sorry my client has pulled out of the sale, sorry to waste your time and decline the money with pay pal.
 
I am inclined to reply saying 'Wow what a great place you have, I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but the horse was taken ill last night and has been admitted to the vets so obviously isn't in a fit state to travel. If she recovers I will get back to you, but don't hold your back, she has got windsucking disease and it is normally quite fatal. Good luck in the search for your new horse...

Sorry again.

Charlotte

What do you think??

yeah that would do, refer to the actual rescue place, hel know hes been rumbled then and wont bother you again i wouldnt have thought!
 
Well what he's really getting is a load of bulls**t and is being led a merry dance, but he thinks that as he has sent me £800 more than the asking price for the horse ( fake money I might add ) That I am going to forward the £800 to his ' transporter ' So that he can pick the horse up...So if I was to fall for it, he would be gaining £800 of my money, I would be £800 short and still have the horse!

Not read all of the replies yet.
You could always ask if he's got the appropriate licence to drive a horse - you wouldn't want him to get booked by the police.
 
You could always say he has to send more money - you used the £800 to get the horse a visa and suitcase and a travel outfit/book for the journey/ipod all of which it needs before it will be alowed out of the country.
 
Herr Finge Stucke is most upset that he has not replied to my email:confused:

However, look what has just landed in my spam box:


Hello,
I work in the Audit department of a bank. A client of mine died seven years ago, Kenya plane crash and he has a total of US$27.7M left in his account. And no one knows about the funds, the strategy is to use my influence to approve the funds to you, if you are interested forward your names and cell Phone/fax, profession, age and country so I can contact you on. My client name is Dr. George Brumley, you can confirm. http://wwwsptimes.com/2003/07/21/Worldandnation/12_Americans_die_in_K.shtml
Thank You,
Mr.M. Delikane

Dear Sir

I am the esteemed and very very important trainer of the strangulated horse you are currently offering to buy.

I have a few questions.

Please tell me exactly where this horse is going to be kept. I require a detailed photograph of his hutch

Please confirm that you are of a sufficient level of riding (particularly if you can perform dussage) and provide a photograph of you performing the said dussage movements.

Please also provide details of the diet you will feed this horse on and confirm that you will not feed him bakened beans, he simply must never be given bakened beans, his preferred diet is cannelloni.

I have received authorisation for you to send the money to me at the following address:

Herr Finge Stucke
Ellyturd Farm Fertiliser Plant
Wherethefarewe Road
Ellifino
South Wales

Alternatively, you can forward a bankers order straight to my bank

Grabbit & Run
110 Cluckandsqueak Road
Iweetoomuch
South Wales

I look forward to hearing from you


Maestro Herr Finge Stuck, M.B.E, F.O.R.D. V.W

I got something like that the other day. Apparently I met Edward Heath at some point in my life and our meeting was so memorable that he left me $22 million.

My finger hovered over the delete button for about 0.25 of a second before I pressed it.

The sad thing is, if people didn't fall for this cr*p, the scammers wouldn't do it.

how did you find the link to the pictures Miss Marple
Click to expand...

i went so save the picture to see if i could get a url off it, and as i went to save it it already had a name to save it to which i though was abit odd, so i copy and pasted that into google images and voila!

did anyone watch panorama or a program along those lines where people on internet dating sites were being scammed, they were prety desperate people and were falling in love with poeple they had never met, and when they starting saying im in trouble i need some money or my life is in danger, they sent them money!!! one women re morgaged her house to send some stranger £40,000!!!!! she didnt see any of that again! turned out it was some one from africa sat in a broom cupboard now rolling in forty grand!!
 
The Canadian address rings bells with me. I was scammed likewise but only for 150 euro (bad enough). It was a showing saddle on Ebay and after I had lost the auction received email saying original bidder dropped out (yes I know but the excitement of a vintage Swaine Adeney - you know yourself) I snapped it up and off to get my bankers draft and Western Unioned. Of course once my sensible head came back, I thought S*** did my research and yes scammed. Reported it to all authorities, lovely Canadian detective phoned me and I gave a statement to add to the many regarding this particular "ring" of scammers. Heard no more but lived in hope for a bit I might get my money back:mad:
 
My mum gets loads at her work email (she is a professor at Edinburgh uni!) and she likes to spend her time fowarding them all on to each other which im sure confuses them no end!
 
Much as this has been very funny, I would tell him that you have sold the horse to someone else and save yourself any future hastle... Yoiu don't know what you may be messing with.. Report it to Paypal and the place whose picture was used perhaps?
 
Id email the scumbag and say: Sorry but the said horse is no longer available,as it was pts and I have her ashes here. BOL in your search for a horsey!!!
 
Very amusing thread, Reminds me of how excited I was (as a female) to get an email telling me I could get a penis extension really cheaply....... what a bargain!
 
I wouldn't mind, but I get about 20 a week, and I promise it's nowt to do with me. I keep emptying the spam box, and back they pop.:eek:

My hubs gets a lot of requests for money (as he's been bequeathed loads in a will) to release bank funds from a lady in Africa. She seems very friendly, genuine and sincere - it's her late hubs inheritance you see, and he especially wanted hubs to have it. I think the going rate is £250 to release the money, and she is soooooooooo desparate for him to have it. ;)
