Recently I've been trying to find a good used stock trailer to use for short trips to parks, etc. I've come across several ads on different equine websites that are scams. I fell for one and have decided to file rip off reports on all the ones I have been finding in my quest for a used trailer. The latest is titled "2007 Featherlite 2-Horse Straight load on Equinehits.com. The man's name is Paul F. Richardson; phone number 985-892-6947, he states that the trailer was his late father's, he doesn't own horses and he needs to sell it to pay the mortgage on his house, he also claims that the trailer is located in Stire, Texas. I've researched the phone number that he has listed, this number belongs to a Joyce M. Richardson, 21360 Stire Street, Abita Springs, LA 70420-3408 and is reported to be 80 years old. Now I'm sure that Ms. Richardson has no idea that her information is being used in a scam.
Don't fall for these scams; do not pay anyone any type of money before you see for your own eyes the merchandise. These people are slick and make you believe that they are for real.
If you have any doubt that the deal is too good to be real, then listen to your common sense. They go on-line down load the specifications and photos from dealers and from there it is very simple to place a free ad. They have you go through a third party to get your money and you have no way of getting it back. Don't give your hard earned money away to thieves.
