[MiniHoofBeats]

Yeah I saw that on the sale board....interesting....

I've never heard of ALABAND, anyone know where it is?

I've never heard of ALABAND, anyone know where it is?

Looks like a Canadian e-mail address, so perhaps it's somewhere in Canada. Just a thought.

 

[JMS Miniatures]

Yeah it does look like a Canadian address. She might not write English that well.

I think if it was any other foreign country I would be a little cautious. It just looks like bad grammer to me.

Nor have we.

It does sound like a Canadian email addy and I have never heard of Alaband either but that is not to say that it doesn't exist

: Reading it I get someone who doesn't speak english well but I don't see a scam - they are selling an AMHA registered mare for $2000 including shipping. As with any business deal you would want to be sure to protect yourself but I don't see that this is a scam.

I did a mapquest on Alaband - nothing comes up. I am from Canada and have never heard of Alaband either. Email this person and see if you get a response.

 

[chandab]

eah it does look like a Canadian address. She might not write English that well.It just looks like bad grammer to me.

Going with this thought, perhaps she misunderstood the form and Alaband is the last name.

 

[EAD Minis]

Maybe they mean Alabama???

[KanoasDestiny]

I did a search on ALABAND and this is what I came up with,

It is a common last name, a web server, and a city in Turkey. Other than that, I couldn't find much else. Has anyone contacted her?

 

[HGFarm]

Absolutely- the verbiage and wording gives it away.. also this is a foreign (non U.S.) addie. Sounds like they are digging for more valid email addresses and perhaps will try to figure out a way to obtain checks for this non exhistant horse that they will cash and then disappear.

Idiots.
