Scam Alert
HorseWeb has been notified of a few scams involving forged checks (usually cashiers checks). In the cases reported to us, the buyer agrees to purchase the horse, offering more than the asking price of the horse. The seller is then asked to send the difference to a third party for the shipping of the horse. If you suspect that you are being scammed, please notify the FBI, Federal Trade Commission, National Fraud Information Center or other appropriate police agency.

Please report any scam attempts to scam@horseweb.com so we can track the scammers.

Here is HorseWeb's own Fraud Alert.
