I got this email today. Now why would he need my credit card imformation if he is the one buying the horse And, the site for transport is canceled.. Anyone ever get one this obvious?

You should send him some false information just to irk him. There use to be a web site where you could turn them into, I will have to go dig around and see if I still have it.

They think they are sooo much smarter than we are. I got one once a while back where I was selling my sisters horse trailer. They wanted to send me a fake M/O for OVER the amount, and me send the rest back in cash. Then they said that after they got their money, they would send someone for the trailer. .

I toyed with him for a few days, told him that I was excited he was buying the trailer, and that I was going the next day to get his cash. He was fun to mess with. Then he got mad cause he said I was playing games...

He said you were playing cames... HA HA HA .. That is so funny.. This one really thinks I am stupid..

We went through this before when we got a letter that we had been left 155, 500,000.00 british pounds. This guy never asked anything personal. We played him along and he took it all to the bank and the bank would be calling us in a Monday.. Never heard a word back.. I researched him on the internet and his address was a language college, the lawfirm web site he used were for employment law and there were no numbers to call them. Fake web sites I am sure... Too bad, we could have used the money...

WOW! Can't that be reported to like crime stoppers or something? That's a scam if I've ever seen one!



What a Big Jerk! You should ask him for the same info!

That scam is pretty unbelievable but what's even more unbelievable is that I'm sure people have fallen for it before !

Anybody who e-mails me on buying anything that can't spell, I'm like, yeah, okay, go away. Kelly (Phenom) got into a deal last year where she kept asking the lady for her phone number and she'd never give it..... same thing happened to me, too.

What kind of scares me is... if you list your home town or address on your website or in an ad, and they have your name, they can track you down... I'm always afraid somebody's going to actually come and get the horse versus paying for it... if that makes any sense...

Remember when they had those trailers on E-Bay for like danged near nothing, and it would be shipped anywhere, blah, blah, blah.... E-Bay was hot on those people's trailers big time!

7C's is right... the nuts really come outta the woodwork for me!

Most of these scammers are in Nigeria. I had one contact me a few weeks ago when I was selling a $2,600.00 stock trailer. The bad spelling was a major tip off. I told him/her/it I was with the government and they better beware.

Also to watch out for are very authentic looking e-mails from your credit card company, asking for your log-in and password. The scammer can then go in an cause havoc with your account. Just know that a legitimate company will never ask for those two things in an e-mail.

Just for laughs, go to this link. It's hysterical!

I looked this one up. He/she has a phone number from Great Brittan. That is where the last scam we had came from.. Now maybe they just have cell phones with numbers from that area? I found some of their stuff in French on a search from the Yahoo who's who.. This one is really obvious.

Bluejay, you definitely win the "received the scam of the year award."

That just stinks,
Here you think you have something going your way and then this nut does this. Gerrrrrr

I got another one today that wants to deposit over 4 million in my bank account to he can withdraw it so his bosses do not know... Anyone figure out how to report these? Said he was the head of some bank and it was profit the bank doesn't know about.

Okay, seriously, you'd think they're be a LITTLE smarter. Like, per se, NOT asking for your social security number?

Sheesh, my dog wouldn't have fallen for that one

He just wanted my bank account number...
