Someone named Vetta Mark texted me from this number wanting riding lessons for their son. He said they were hearing impaired, and I could not call them. They wanted to "pay" upfront for 3 months using credit cards. They wanted me to forward all of my information to their "shipping company" that would be transporting their son to the lessons. I told him I don't give lessons to people who do not have their own horse. He said they don't have their own horse....but still wanted to pay, upfront, for 3 months of lessons on and invisible horse. Scam.

Well known scam. At some point you will be asked one of two things: (a) Send money, by a cash wire transfer service, to their 'shipper'. or (b) Later on, refund the money, but to a different credit card. There are a few variations of this one, but the end result is usually the same.
Badge 714:
When I have sold things on Craigslist in the past, I learned very quickly about scams. This is the first one I've had from my horse training website. I guess I never expected them to go trolling on my own site. It's really a shame:( I'm going to spread the word with my fellow horse people.
Same people and case as the other reported, I hope we could find themalso credit card facilities.
This was part of the text I received
Thanks for the response am okay with tuesday,Thursday and Friday, As I have stated I will need a little favor from you towards the private transportation driver that will always bring him from his for the Horse Riding Lesson lesson and pick up him after the lesson of $ training with another $200 for yourself for any stress you will be going through to do cash deposit for the transportation drive and you will have all the full amount charge on my credit card and send the $2500 to the private transportation driver ( via Cash Deposit )
I hope you understood me correctly... Also here is the break down below:
