Debbie,
This is the thread that made me believe that I was going to get hay. Clearly, I was the fool, not getting his name and number. After I sent my money gram for a 1/3 of the hay cost (I thought that was reasonable, as diesel is not cheap) he then never got me my hay. Actually worried that he didn't at some point then just dropped it. When I contacted money gram they told me that he picked up the money gram in Bloomington, MN not even close to Murrieta,CA.... Hard to believe. Please pass this forward however works.
I just got scammed by a man who was supposedly in So CA offering all kinds of different hay in 50 lb bales. I thought he was in Murietta CA but I found out when I called Western Union after I had sent him $300 (1/3 of the hay total) they told me he collected his money in Bloomington MN. His email address is: lytlalex@yahoo.com and I don't have an actual name. I believe it is Thai Kehim or Kehim Thai. I have googled this name until I can't see anymore. The person I dealt with said this name was the driver.

Well, I guess you snookered me out of $300. Have to report this to Internet fraud. You didn't reply to my last email...so I guess you want to be a con artist! How awful for you.
