Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let all know how that scam with "Gary Connery" plays out. We received the exact same email that Mona had received and decided to go for a while and see what happens.
I sent an email (after the one confirming it was for his 21 year old son) that asked for a name address and phone number to put on the transfer papers. Quit shocking I received an answer with all the information, (Im sure that is fake) My husband decided that was enough and sent the following email
Hi Gary
I was wondering if you would like us to ship the horse along with all the others you have purchased or tried to in the last three weeks. It must be quite a few and we could save you a lot more on shipping if we dehydrated and canned her for you. Nice try but please quit wasting ours and many others valuable time with your petty scam. You have been exposed for what you are on a Miniature Horse Forum so you are wasting your time. Please refrain from any futher contact.
To which Gary actually replied,
obviously not reading any of the above. He state that is has been confirmed to him that I should have received the cheque, please check and confirm back to him. I did not reply and left it as done. Then Wednesday I received in the mail a CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) Bank Draft in the amount of $5,800.00. This is almost 4 times the asking price of the horse. I looks totally legit. SO off to the RCMP station I go this morning, they even said the bank draft looks very real.
But to email him back, stating that I can not conclude the sale and where should I return the check and that I would not be signing or cashing this either. If I get a response to send it back to the address registered mail.
The constable gave me a website to check out. It is run by the RCMP and other law agencies to deal with phone and email fraud. Thought I would pass this on to all
