Is it just me or is there even MORE scams around than normal?!

Just seems every single blinkin horse I look at is a scam!!
A friend of mine is looking for something, so I have been scouring the net for her, I think I find something and read its ad to here stupid phrases like
'he will make you and your family happy to own a horse.' or really bad english grammar/spelling!!

And there seems to be more about than ever!!!

I know, isn't there! They make it so obvious as well with their very very poor English :lol: It's like a big neon sign saying, "HI, I WILL SCAM YOU!" :lol:

You wouldn't think they would let them on there, if we can see they are scans surly they can?

[black crow]

I think theres quite a few more yeah!

Im worried that people are getting easier to scam, like with all these weird ones offering to deliver some fancy horse your buying for £1000 which is a scam, yet its phrased differently on another website [i.e the one about, this was my wifes horse she died in a motorbike accident, and another website says my husband]

I don't think HM check the adverts, there's way too many to read over!

[loubylou]

Just drives me barmy, and I wonder how many non-scams I am glossing over because their owners just dont have a way with words too!!

[flambards]

Daft question but how exactly would a horse scam work?? Like, do they have you send the money in advance promising to deliver the horse and then never show up?

[Loony]

Helena explained it in one of the scam threads further down!

I think they basically ask you for a deposit, something about the horse being overseas and needs to be shipped over..
