BEWARE! BOGUS EMAILS / BUYERS!
A series of worldwide financial scams involving buying items, including horses, is reported to be on the increase. At least one vendor on the BCPS Sales List has received an email like this in spite of the fact that the vendor's email address does not actually appear on the web site.
It would appear that the scam involves the bogus purchaser sending a cheque for the purchase price plus the freight charges to the seller, who is then asked to forward the freight money on to a bogus freight company. However, the seller is asked to forward this money fairly soon after receipt of the cheque and the cheque is then stopped prior to clearance.
- Check very carefully the authenticity of any e-mail from abroad (particularly African countries) purporting interest in purchasing a horse or pony
- Check their credentials very carefully and do not ship a horse prior to ensuring all monies are paid in full
- Ensure any cheques / money orders are not counterfeit & have cleared fully
- Consult your bank if in doubt about cheque clearance
