Re: [RC] Horse Scam - Kristene SmutsGranted, a buyer could be legitimate and yet have poor English skills-- but there is a trend here and it is an indication.>> Go to http://urbanlegends.about.com/, their site is quite an education! The agencies who investigate this kind of fraud e-mails (also in part known as 419 scams, after the section of Nigerian law, where most of these things originate), have a list of indicators that you can check if you're not sure about an e-mail. Amongst them are what Bette listed - urgency, poor grammar and spelling, a chance at making instant profit, and most often would want you to do something illegal to make that quick profit. In the case of this particular scam, it's to duck the various monetary laws (money laundering). Have fun with that site!
