Avoid Scams
To help you in recognizing these types of scams, we have provided below a
list of indicators. They are only guidelines, and as always, should be tempered
with common sense.
1. Big Promises: Claims such as offering more money than
the asking price without an initial conversation regarding the horse are almost
always a sure sign of a scam. Be careful of any individual who wants to send
you more than your asking price.
2. Uses Free Email Address: Scammers use free web-based
email addresses such as yahoo.com, ymail.com, gmail.com, live.com, etc.
3. Cashiers Check for MORE than Your Asking Price: They
will send you a (COUNTERFEIT) cashiers check or certified check (cheque) and
ask you to send the difference to them or their shipper by wire transfer or
Western Union.
4. Request Money by Western Union or Wire Transfer: Beware
of these attempts to quickly defraud you of your money.
5. High Pressure Tactics: Be wary of individuals asking
you to speed up the transaction beyond your comfort range. Again, a legitimate
deal probably isn't going to move as fast as your money. Don't let yourself
be pressured -- think things through.
6. Requests for financial information: Don't give out any
bank information without establishing a comfort level with the buyer or seller.
7. Always get something in writing: You should never complete
a transaction without first writing down the terms of the deal and have each
party sign it. If you can't afford a lawyer to draft up a contract, you still
should write down the terms of the deal in plain English and get it signed.
Any buyer or seller that is hesitant or resists is usually a sure sign of a
potential problem.
8. Remember the old saying, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably
is."
