A friend of mine received the following email in response to an ad for a horse for sale (not on LB, but elsewhere). It doesn't "ring true" to me for a number of reasons and sounds quite a bit like others I've read about on here. She did reply with the information he asked for and is now wating to see if he writes again. Here's the email:

I guess if I have to ask because it doesn't "feel right", it probably is a scam, but I told my friend I would ask anyway.
Thanks for any thoughts and input you may have.
BTW, what are the requirements for shipping a horse overseas from Canada? It's probably similar to shipping from the U.S., but still. I'm just curious.
