Sorry for the rant but if this helps anybody or any advice can be gleaned from this THANKS..
My wife and I are looking for a specific type of horse for our camps we do and my wife found one in listed in Columbus Ohio. Not that far but when we called the guy he says hes in Catawba Virginia.. sends pictures and a video, answers all our questions very well and he gave the right answers to me when I talk to folks that I dont know.. we thought we had done our homework.. googled his name and number , his address and even information about the horse, Everything checks out but his address came up on Zillow for sale, and me having that feeling inside that something is not right made me call the number on the listing , the person that owns the house states there are no horses on the property and we chat and I give him the information I have on the guy and all is good..
The seller wants a money gram and I say no of course and he keeps pressing and I finally had enough and lit him up...hes probably not even in the country.
This guy was good and I am glad I listened to that feeling of doubt.
This my first dealing with this elaborate of a scam and learned more and hope someone does too. Those scammers are one of the lowest forms of puke I can say and I hope he gets whats coming to him.
