Hi there, just wanted to give everyone a heads up that someone is using my farm name and email address to what it appears to be scamming folks here on lilbeginnings. I reciently recieved a email from a "seller" from the sales board asking if I recieved the pics they sent me about a mare they have for sale.

I was confussed by the email so I replied back and told them I had no clue what they where talking about. I recieved another email letting me know that a "Rosemarie" using my farm name and email address was requesting pics of this persons mare they seen on the sales board and was just wondering if "Rosemarie" got the pics.

I again replied back to let them know that there is no one of that name here nor any family members of that name and that I believe they have become a victum of a scam. I gave them some helpful info to confirm that it is not me and also immediantly emailed Mary Lou to inform her of the situation.

I just wanted to also give everyone a heads up and a warning here that someone(s) are getting smarter about scamming and that please be aware of any emails you may recieve kind of like this maybe the same situation I am dealing with. Also if any of you recieve a email from me asking to see your "sales horses" its not me as Im not in the market

Thanks for the heads up. They just don't stop do they?
 
There's always a new way to try to steal. These people use all their time to think of ways to get something for nothing.

Too bad they have no gumption to get a REAL job.

Wouldn't you love to confront one of these scammers????
