When I had to move and sell my horses, I ran into the same scam. The only difference with mine was he was going to have his "agent" come look at the horses. I figured this was some big wig who needed a trainer or someone to look and make sure he wasn't getting screwed over, right? This "agent" shows up, barely speaks English, looks at the horses for two seconds from his car, and then proceeds to tell me that the buyer will take them and will be sending a bank cheque the next day. I am to cash the cheque and then pay the "agent" his portion of the proceeds. Then when I told him no, I would not be selling to him, the "agent" had the nerve to start threatening me, that I was backing out of a "legal" agreement. It got nasty, but I got a little nervous. It is one thing to avoid scammers on the net but when they graduate to this level, you have to wonder.
