Weird email replies to my 'horse for sale' ad

[pmcc]

:confused:
have advertised my horse for sale last night and got two weird emails today that seem to be maybe computer generated like some kind of scam.
Has anyone else come across this?????????

on the second one I have removed the name and just put name in.

hehe yes I've had them before. They are usually from Nigeria. I like to toy with them and write back...

"Thank you for the interest in my horse. I got him from the stable last night and one of his fetlocks fell off. He is okay and the other 3 are working well. Do you still want him?"

They usually reply that they do and that they want me to accept a cheque with a large sum of money on it and make up the difference for the price of the horse plus some extra for myself.

When we sold Ellie Mae, we had the second email exactly - Owner rung the number that was on it - they answered in a normal voice and when she said what she was calling on he hesitated and then put on a really strong uncomprehensible asian accent - was very bizarre.

Just a word of advice, its actually better NOT to reply to these emails. Once they've got a reply they have an opportunity to then phish your email account and, unless you have a really good firewall, there's also an opportunity to get all your information and then quick as a flash there's your identity theft. Much wiser to simply ignore and hit the delete key.

You should send them back a very badly worded, with terrible grammar, nonsensical e-mail ........ Honestly what a bunch of losers, they can't possibly think people are stupid enough to fall for it :mad:
