Do people really fall for this kind of stuff? I've been sick for the last 3 days and was laughing so hard I ended in a coughing fit that scared my husband. How stupid do these people think we are?
Hello My name is EDDY, i was going through the ad listed on www.spotsforsale.comand i saw your advert for the sale of Filly Horse. I 'll like to know if you still have it intact for sale just as the description on the ad stated it, also i will like to know your last asking price and anything new on it, any new pics will do too if you have one. My means of payment will be through a certified cashiers check, the payment will get to you through my client, it is going to be an over-payment for the item and the shipping. All you need to do when you get the check is to deposit it in your bank and wait for it to clear with them before you can take your payment for the item out of it and send the balance to my frieght agent so he casn come for the pickup.I believe we need not waste time on this going by how urgrent i'll be needing the horse, so i suggest you get back to me pretty soon even with your information to prompt the mailing and writing of the check. FULL NAME........ CONTACT ADDRESS.... PHONE NUMBERS..... I await your response soon, thanks.

I wonder that too. I was selling a young green broke filly for $1200. I had a scammer try to get me to ship the filly to Australia after I cashed his check for $20,000 and give him the remaining balance. I'm sure he could have found a green broke filly in Australia or where ever he was from for my asking price. There was nothing spectacular about her breeding... just a nice all around horse. I'm so tired of these scammers that I am just about ready to go back to doing business the old fashioned way... newspapers, local trade papers, and flyers at the feed stores.

You know, we think they are dumb, but if it only works 1 out of a hundred times. They are pretty smart. If it wasn't working any more, they would stop.
