Many of us who have put our horses out for sale on the web has recently received a scam mail
from someone claiming to be interested in buying a horse. The object of the sender is to
negotiate a buy, send a check that?s worth more than the purchase price and ask for a refund
of the difference. Then it turns out that the check is a fake.
Here is how a scam mail may look:
