I want to buy your saddle scam.

[Bob Gould]

This is the second time I've gotten an e-mail like this from advertising on ebarrelracing. This first time was with a horse. Luckily, we waited a few days before sending any money and called the back and sure enough it was a counterfeit money order. Now, this same scam has come up from me selling my saddle. I know this isn't ebarrelracing's fault and there's not anyway you can prevent this, but I wanted to forward this to you so you could put an alert out there about this. These guys are conartists.

Thanks,
Michelle

Chris,

Did you see the saddle on ebarrelracing.com? If you did I had pictures attached. I'll attach the pictures again for you. The price is $800 firm and I'll pay the shipping. Yes, I will accept a money order. The saddle is in good shape. I've owned it for about 5 years and I bought it new so it's only had 1 owner. Yes, it's been used, but it's not in bad shape it just looks like a saddle that's been ridden in. You can see in the pictures the condition it's in. I'm selling it because the horse I bought it for has been sold and it doesn't fit my other horse. Let me know if you can't look at the pictures and I could try to re-save the pictures in another program so you could see them.
