Hi Everyone, I felt I needed to send this email out to warn you all of some scammin goin on.  This person that sent me this email had been in touch with me before trying to buy a different saddle I had online. He sent me a cashiers check for way over the cost of the saddle . Contacted me wanting the remainder because his wife was sick and needed the money for hospital bills. ( The saddle was  $325 . He sent a check for $3,000!!! He is located in London, England.)  I had taken the check to my bank and they called the bank that had supposedly issued it, it didn't even have the right amount of numbers!!!  The check looked fake too.  It was turned over to the sherriffs dept. , and the FBI has been in touch with me also. They say there is nothing we can do about this because they are over seas.  jSo if I can keep one person from getting taken by them I will.
   My daughter also had a truck for sale on line and she also got 2 different emails wanting it and they were from overseas.  Different email addresses to this guy tho.
  So if you are selling anything online and someone from over seas sends you a cashiers check for whatever you are selling, take it to your bank and have them call the bank that it is drawn on to make sure its good.  And do not send money to them!!!  They should not send more than the asking price!!!
  I will get off my soap box now and leave you poor people alone.  Thanks and God Bless!!
