Like to share an unwelcome experience. Had a mare for sale recently. Nicely bred but this particular line seems to have faded, so mare on market. Had a number of enquires and one lady from Central Coast was busting to get her. We agreed on a price. When I casually mentioned I was getting out of breeding and I had two other untraced fillies for sale, she asked for pedigree etc on th3m. She rang back quickly and said she would take all three horses. After exchanging details and giving banking details, a text arrived saying payment had been made. Steps were taken to arrange paperwork for transfers etc, just waiting for money to appear in account. Yes you get i5. Six days later, no money in account, but the texts  kept coming asking about the three girls, how to arrange transport, asking health records, drenching, etc. Nothing was happening, and last contact was she had “redeposited” amount in my account. That was the deal buster. She was a con artist. I put all other enquires off. No money, still got the horses. Just telling this story as there are some d##kheads out there. At leas5 I hadn’t released the horses to her.

You wonder why they waste their own time too don't you. Must be completely delusional and believe their own crazy stories.

We had a similar experience about 15 years ago now, purchased a lovely mare on type from this woman in the Western Districts of Vic, agreed on price, transferred monies, and organised for the float to pick her up. Float company arrives and the people at the property had no idea what was going on. Had never heard of this woman or the horse, they had only ever had cattle on their property! We tried to chase after her with some assistance from the police but it got buried at the bottom of a pile and when they finally got around to doing anything about it, she was long gone. Bank weren't helpful either, so we just had to cut our losses.

I only ever use trusted auction site or trusted agents now. Buyer beware!

They know exactly what they're doing & abound now more than ever Angry You only need look at the thieves operating during the most recent NSW floods! Animals are easy prey to these low lives who quickly find new owners for them & bank the profits Angry
