Opened my e mails this morning and sure enough another scam - usually totally ignore them but thought I'd paste this one up as, I've got to be honest, it made me laugh I know there is nothing funny about these "scamsters" (made up word ) but it was the auto dealer part that made me chuckle - I almost replied just so I could say the bodywork was slightly rusting and in need of a bit of attention !!!!

So Mike - and everyone else North of the Border - I'm sure you've heard of this reputable dealer
I had someone leave a phone message asking to buy one of my horses.... A mr brown who could sort out shiping and so on..... Could not belive that they had the b*lls to ring me... Anyone else had a call from they Sh***???
Also had two emails from the auto dealers this morning...maybe with the price of petrol going upwards someone out there is thinking ahead and hedging their bets!!! After all, cars are based on "horsepower" aren't they????! LOL suyen.
I had something similar about 6 months ago who referred to my "stunning purebred gelding" as a motorcycle and someone else wanting a horse for playing hockey on?? I love the way they just cut and paste the title of your advert onto the email!!!!!
