Wow, that's an interesting one. If it isn't a scam, then that's a heck of an odd person.

I don't know if it's a scam or a really bad marketing ploy. He figures if you're selling a horse, you're buying a horse (they're like cars, you know) and so you need some training and why not have him do it?

pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as
soon as you receive the certified check, go and cash
them immediately, deduct the money that accrues to
you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the
company that handles the shipment in Usa via the
nearest Western Union agent in your area. Deduct the
Western Union charges from the balance and send the
remaining to Usa immediately .The certified check will
be in your name to make it easier f! or you to receive
payment, deduct your money and send the balance via
Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please
reconfirm your details one more time. I will give you
