Just wanted to remind everyone again. I have been in the market for a small livestock trailer and found what seemed to be a decent deal on a website. Started emailing the guy about the trailer then he said it was with an escrow company in Kansas. Then he says he is out of the country working and gave me a link to the escrow company. I was already feeling the deal was fishy. I started looking at the companies web site and there is no phone number to call. Another flag went up there. So, I started investigating online and found other people had already lost a lot of money. Here is the web site.    http://www.freight-company-pvt-ltd.co.uk/    Just need to investigate everything you look at online.

Glad I had that little thought in the back of my head. Saved me a bunch of money.

These people sit around all day in internet cafes and literally send out thousands of emails a day just trying to get 1 bite.  Unfortunately, they do have success and that is why they keep doing it.
