Are you sure that's not one of those virtual horse sites, they pirate pics and "sale" and "show" virtual horses... Just a thought.
Nope, doesn't appear to be a virtual site after I looked. You know, that makes you think that they are going to require a deposit, and then skip with someone's money. You should inquire!
Yep that's Tuffy and I'm spitting nails so to speak :)
Well, she sure picked a pretty horse to pretend to sell, huh? LOL
Shoot, I wouldn't be able to wait until this evening.. set up a free yahoo account and mail the little illiterate horse thief! We all want to know!
If nothing else, they are using a picture I took without my permission. Don't know if that would work or not.
:) Well, she could have asked a little more money I think.
I already have a yahoo account with my name so I don't think I can get another one from the same ISP.
That is so bizarre! And scary too. How did you manage to find it? Were you just scanning horses for sale or what?
No, I got an email from someone inquiring through an ad I have on another site. Really pretty nasty as a matter of fact, asking who really owned this horse since they had seen him at horseville.com. I started to send a nasty email back and then thought maybe I ought to check just in case.
No kidding!! I guess she's figuring that she'll get LOTS of inquiries if she puts him at a low price ...
Well, I sure would like to wring her little neck :)
You've got to wonder what her angle could be. How could someone profit from a scam like this? Surely people don't send money for a horse sight-unseen.
Hi! West, near Katy.
That's what I don't understand. Although 20+ years ago I bought a horse, site unseen. It was from a nationally known breeder though and I had seen pictures of her and her previous foals. (and for a heck of a lot more than that)
I wonder if it's not just some different way of Phishing. How do people figure crap like this out?!
Really bizarre, duchess! What a coincidence that the potential buyer would even have made the connection! and contacted you! All the bad grammar and BS in that ad and the emailer thought maybe ~you~ were the fraud?
It's an obvious fraud, I'd sure report it in a hurry, at least to the site so they can remove all her other ads too, if she has any, but maybe even to law enforcement.
I think this person is hoping they will do just that!
Poor tuffy, she gelded him already.
Which brings up a funny point. She says he's a gelding and then turns around and says he'll throw 100% color.
LOL!! I hadn't even noticed that. So funny!
