Re: [RC] Suspicious response to ad - Mary Ann Spencer

most here have had that type of response. ignore them. they are trying to steal some money.  don't know if it would help to try to report them to anyone.  they are a nuisance.

Subject: [RC] Suspicious response to ad

I've received lots of responses so far to my ad in the classifieds (which is fantastic, so glad I used endurance.net!!)...but one or two that seem a little "iffy". When a person talks about "their client" being very interesting, wanting "the item" right away (but they never name the item or ask any more detailed questions, the way everyone else has), talking about a shipping agent picking up the item, and writing in poor English....seems to me to read "scam" all over it...What do you think?
They have talked about making payment by certified cheque or money order and want my name (which they have on my e-mail anyway) and address. So far, no talk of extra money or fees, but...
I've responded by asking some specific questions that only someone who has some knowledge of horse and saddles would know the answer to. I'm thinking of avoiding this one completely...
