Interesting Twist on Scam. Who wants to play?

[equinelaw]

The interesting past is that this e-mail is NOT to my e-mail address and its FROM the scammer who meant to send it to that address. They are trying to get more clever. They just confused LAW with shelters and the scammer with the scammeee.

Anyone want to play with this one?

Tell him that you are out of that size shelter, and currently have in stock "Equine Fetal shelters approx 2'x4', and equine Tax shelters avail in 6"x12" approx 2 feet deep. Unfortunately the equine tax shelters are only avail to Democrats living in the Bahamas." And ask if he could send you some extra money for shipping, and you'll send him a check back for the difference...written on a checking acct in Nigeria where you have wealthy relatives who have money but are unable to get it out of the country.

And then there's the new, "Equine Gimme Shelter," designed by a Mr. Mick Jagger in Great Britain. They would have to pay the importing and customs fees on that one, plus the quarantine.

Heheh. I've been stringing one of these guys along for a week now.

I wonder if we could all order gimmie equin tax shelters from this guy now? Let's all send in orders at once!

I get that they are trying to be sneaky and hide their address to make it look real, but uh. . . . .even in their native tongue that is still stooopidness:)
