I don't know if anyone else has already done this today, but I have re-posted this from another (reputable) site I belong to:


We've heard about this scam and felt we should share. HOAX ALERT ***PLEASE READ***
There is another 'plea' to rehome horses circulating. Horses are based in Scotland, 52 of them, owner has died blah blah blah. There is a number to ring if you want one of the horses. DO NOT RING THE NUMBER. This is a tried and tested scam and you will be charged approx £15 connection fee and anything from £10-£45 per minute to hear a recorded message thanking you for your interest, rambling on until finally, it tells you all the horses have been homed. Please re-post this on other sites you may belong to.
 
I had a non horsey friend from my uni days message me on FB today, worried about these horses and asking if I could help. Bless her :(.
 
I think there was a thread about this last night too. Seems like a scam which has been running for some time, with the place/country sometimes changing.
