Veteran Posts: 231 Location: On My Horse!	I posted my saddle on this site yesterday and last night I got a text that seemed pretty fraudulent. I tried to attach the screen shots but it says they are too big. This was the first text they sent me "BEAUTIFUL 14" Original Bob Marshall Price: $2,000 Do you still have it Sent from iPhone" I replied "yes" and then they asked the condition of it and I replied. THEN they said "Ok i would take it Would accept a direct deposit to your bank or a check we would schedule a time for pickup once you get it .Thanks Dawson Sent from iPhone" I mean really...Pretty sure this is fraud. I don't sell a lot of stuff, but in the past I've never had someone text me. Usually it's an email saying they will pay me 3X the asking price LOL. Edited by JRJ 2017-03-16 11:40 AM

Veteran Posts: 231 Location: On My Horse!	I thought so! I told them cash or PayPal only. They never replied. The number is (872)401-0777 it's a Chicago area code. So sellers beware. :-( So sad we have to be so careful all the time.

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	Love selling on BHW and I have good luck, but I always seem to get one fraud email within the first week every time I put a new ad.
