<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 3625036, member: 8708&quot;]This sort of scam is rife in the equestrian world.</p><p>Small items as described above where the scammer steals photos from eBay etc ,pretends they own the goods, advertises them and ‘sells’ them multiple times.</p><p>Unbelievably some people are persuaded to buy a horse unseen and transfer many thousands of pounds to someone else’s bank account. They wait for the horse to be delivered and it never comes. That and advertising a horse and asking for a deposit to hold the horse until the buyer can get to see it. Then they vanish.</p><p>When buying goods a useful trick is to ask the seller to take a photo of the item with their name and today’s date on it in the photo. If they can’t then don’t pay.</p><p>I normally use PayPal G&amp;S and no good seller will object if you add the fees on. There are online calculators that make it very easy.</p><p>I only pay F&amp;F if I really trust someone although I admit I have just done a bank transfer for a small amount of money. I did stalk their profile first and just have to hope it turns up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
