Loading ...Nigerians are getting the hang of selling non-existing animals.
Last time, we heard about Cameroonians and Nigerians selling goldendoodles to Australians, rushing the buyer that the dog will be put down if not purchased quickly.
This time a report from New Zealand indicates that horses are the subject of the scam. They are getting clever. Check out the offers they are making.
Ideally – from their viewpoint – you pay upfront, sight-unseen, and you never hear from them again. They might declare themselves so confident in the abilities of the horse that they’re happy to get half-payment now and the remainder after you receive the horse. They still make a handsome profit – and remember, they could be scamming half a dozen different potential buyers for the same horse.
Another twist is that they’ll let you have the horse before you pay for it. All you need to do is pay the $500 for having the horse transported. Or suggest you pay them to organise the veterinary check.
The horse may even be free – provided you pay the transport costs.

To New Zealand horse-lovers and other potential targets, if it smells fishy, it’s probably not a horse.
