paintedpastures · 10-23-2009, 11:40 AM

Got this letter in my e-mail.I figured it can't be for real,it sounds like yet another scam!!
Must say they are getting creative

,haven't seen or heard or one like this

Hello,

I need to board my horse away from home for two months as I will be traveling on vacation with my family, I need a good horse keeper for Miama, he is a very cool and easy with people. I just got him a saddle, I ride him twice in week..

I have the cogging and health certificate, I will need a full stall boarding for the two months, he is in the best condition of health.

Let me know how much this will cost me(your price) send me an email to my personal id: --------@live.com

Never seen that one before.. I am in awe .. how would they be able to scam though?..

they'll probably ask for your bank account number so they "can wire money to you" etc.....

...but then they'll send you more than requested and want a cash refund...

Stupid scammers....what the hell do they get out of it anyway...I always write them a email telling them to get a life! (and a few other things

) Def keep your guards up!

I have gotten a few variations of that email in the last little while. Annoying.

I, SO, just got that exact same email myself!!!! I responed with my rates and this person got back to me and actually had a name for their horse!!! Sure I'll be more then happy to pay the shipper out of the funds you send me for board, NOT NOT NOT.

Or, if you're bored and want to have some fun, email them with false info and keep asking questions about where they live, how long they've had a horse, will they help clean the poop, etc. The more emails they send the worse the english.
