Ha ha ha ... now I've heard everything!

I am unable to accomodate this seemingly VERY serious owner who wants to breed to my stallion ...

Is there anyone else out there who would be interested in his business and I can pass on his contact details to you?

Hello There,
I am Folly W, Edwards,i came across you posted add at ohorse.com while searching for a reputable painted horse breeder to breed my Gelding for two months while i was away in Hawaii for vacation..
I have the current coggins,health certificate and he has being on shot..please let me know any requirement you will be needing to breed him for two months,the charges for the period..
He is a 7years old easy gelding and do well in the in group,he has being on boarding twice in 3 month and 5 months respectively..so this wont be new him ..

I will be looking forward to read from and let you know more about him in my next email..

Regards

It would be a real shame if at least ONE of us couldnt get the business from this fellow ...

hahaha Breed, board, what's the difference?

Actually, I have a gelding who would happily breed his gelding with the expected results if he is interested. The "breeding" fee is eight million no guarantee.

That's even worse than John Henry's owner being told when he was thinking of buying him that he was a gelding said " I don't care what color he is. "

You need to set the poor man straight before he embarrasses himself with other people.

Does being "on shot" mean that he has good marksmanship skills?

Anyway, I wouldn't want him. If he only wants to be "in the in group" he sounds like kind of a snob.

In case you guys are not familiar this is a "Nigerian scam". They answer all ads and find some way to send you a fake cashier's cheque or bank draft overpaying for something like shipping. For example, you agree to board this horse for $2000 for two months so he sends you three asking you to give the shipper the $1000 when the horse arrives. The draft is found to be a phony a mnth later and you are out three thousand and the proud owner of some worthless horse. The grammar is a give away. If you don't believe me, advertise a horse, horse wanted, saddle, anything on the Internet and you will get your very own offer.

His name clearly indicates his expertise as pure "Folly"...

Thanks for clarifying but I am pretty sure the OP knew that and was just enjoying a laugh at an asshats expense. Some horse people might be foolish enough to fall for other versions of this scam but I would hope no one would negotiate to breed a gelding.
On the other hand I have a set of testicles toasting on the barn roof. Maybe we should contract to sell him those and solve both of his problems?

Hey TC I got the same email yesterday
Found it good for a laugh, the email was [email protected] which was odd in itself. I guess the person sent out emails to all breeders they could find.

I know she knows, but I have seen actual discussions on boards that people think (hope/pray) that a similar response to their horse for sale ad could be a legitimate buyer. I guess it is a sign of how bad the market is. I feel left out. I just keep getting the "I will put zillions in your account from the money I can't get out of my country and I will give you a cut" letters.

It sure isnt ever dull out there is it?!

The sad (weird???) part is that some poor schmuck out there must still be falling for these scams if they keep continuing???

I mean - I cant see these people continuing to send out emails like this if no one in the last 12 months has ever bothered to respond?

I wonder what the average annual income is of the average Nigerian scammer ...

they must spend tons on those FED Ex overnight deliveries of their fake money orders.. I was collecting them for a while..

LMAO They may not be worth as much toasted as they are fresh, just so you know

Just in case they are toast, I can send a set that I keep forgetting to get out of my barn freezer. Imagine opening those ripe babies after a few weeks in the mail.

Just send him your standard "No Guarantee" contract.
