Posting this for reference for everyone !!!
I had a surprising message on my phone when I got home today!
It was from a lady from Alberta, Canada and she said that she thinks a scam is going on with my Leopard Appaloosa Stallion TOYLAND TINO TRIX. She said he was up for sale on a classified site called KIJIJI in Alberta and was listed for $3000 in December before Christmas. She said my pictures of him were used. She did not know about my farm and thought the ad was real. She emailed this person and and said she wanted him and to mark him as sold. The seller wanted her to send the money. She told the seller that since the horse was only about 4 hours from them that she would just take the trip with her trailer and pay in full when she picked him up. After telling the seller this, she tried to make contact numerous times after that to get directions and schedule the trip. The seller didn't respond for a couple weeks. After numerous emails to the seller they finally replied saying Tino had been sold.
She was very disappointed but went on to find another leopard stallion elsewhere.
When she received her MHW magazine this month she saw Tino's picture in the Stallion Showcase ad I placed. She said she was shocked to see "Her Leopard Stallion" she had wanted so bad and proceeded to look up my site. After browsing Tino's information on my site she realized he must not have been in Canada after seeing he had been breeding mares at my farm in 2009 and thought at that point this must be a scam. She was kind enough to call me and let me know this happened.
It's unbelievable what people will try these days. I did go on that classified site to look for it but the ads only went back to the posting dates at the end of December. On Monday I will contact that classified site and let them know this happened.
I will get the email address of the scammer from this lady in Canada.
I thanked her and said thank goodness she didn't send them money.
Then I proceeded to tell her that $3000 was QUITE A DEAL for him
Se told me this was one of the pictures on the ad...
