equine.com multiple scams in their listings I have contacted them at least 8 times in the past 2 weeks about this. None of the listings have been removed. See Silver Dewy Ranch. multiple cities multiple states
In addition to the Silver Dewy Ranch scam, the url for the horse "Scratch" https://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/quarter-horse/f9d8e810-james-easy-keeper-all-around-nice-guy now lists a completely different horse name (SPEEDY) , photo, details, & contact info. Call that # & you will find it is a "text only" phone #. They will require a 10% deposit before you even see the horse
Search "BILLY", (the horse I naively lost $250 before I even saw the horse & completely lost contact with John the scammer after $ was sent via Zelle,) has been located in spencer, MA, then Hooksett, NH, then on 9/30/21 Brainerd, MA (which does not even exit!) now Allentown, PA on 10/6/21.
Beware this phone # 508-593-7910. You will only be able to text because of a "bad connection". He will also tell you that "paypal is down" which is ridiculous, but much easier to retrieve scammed $ from because they list name, address, etc.
Also BEWARE "kindly text DR Raymond on 4792550455"
Searching buckskin quarter horse photos, I immediately found a really lazy scammer with multiple burner phones or a scammer group.
SEE below on “SPEEDY” & “JUSTIN” listings--IDENTICAL HORSE PHOTO (HORSE & SADDLE PAD & SADDLE & BACKGROUND ARE IDENTICAL except for different side of the horse in the photo and different scammer phone numbers!!!!). Also, these 2 ads have ALMOST IDENTICAL DESCRIPTIONS!!!
SPEEDY (formerly this url was “SCRATCH” until 10/1/21 or so) https://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/quarter-horse/f9d8e810-james-easy-keeper-all-around-nice-guy
This boy has everything going for him… absolutely stunning, flawless conformation and the kind of horse that will ride exactly the same every time, regardless of whether you ride every day or one weekend every other month. SPEEDY is the epitome of the Foundation Quarter Horse breed and his highly unusual Buckskin Dun color and tiger striped legs make him stand out from the crowd. He goes back to the great AQHA Hall of Famer King P-234. He is a phenomenal arena horse and is very responsive. He has spent countless hours working cattle and would make a dynamite Jr rodeo horse. Don’t miss out on this talented gelding!. For more info text or call at 385-344-3613. THIS IS A “TEXT ONLY” PHONE. I guess they don’t want us to detect their foreign accent.
JUSTIN https://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/quarter-horse/ccf17dd0-can-stay-in-the-barn-or-out-in-the-pasture (buckskin supposedly in Durant, OK.)

BEWARE PHONE # 385-344-3613 and ANY OTHER TEXT ONLY PHONE. Never give a 10% deposit just so you can see the horse, even if they insist it is refundable.
Beware a low priced ideal horse that is "negotiable". $3000 or less is way too low in this horse market.

UPDATE EQUINE.COM HORSE SCAMS
10/9/21 “SPEEDY” is now ROCKY in Arbon, ID—different horse photo & description. Same scammer phone #. The listing was changed 13 hours ago. I texted w “John” who says he has been reading my postings & said “no one is stopping you, so continue.” He knows that all he & his scammer group need to do to get a fresh group of naïve, trusting horse lovers is to change the location of the horse. I have screenshots of Speedy & Justin being identical listings. I also have screenshots of “ROCKY” having the same url as former SCRATCH & SPEEDY. Current ID: f9d8e810-03a2-11ec-a52c-1585acfa1b42 for Rocky. Search views for this ad are listed as 19,272, detail views 603. That’s a lot of views for a perfect, bombproof horse that has yet to be sold!
SCRATCH has a new url now https://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/quarter-horse/bf25cfc0-rides-around-fantastic-is-great-to-ride-in-the-mountains
