Some sort of Emergency in Florida - 52 free TB's.......

Postby Bondama » Tue Aug 09, 2011 12:07 pm

Sharing a link I saw in the Farm/Garden section of Craigslist. Looks like some sort of emergency dispersal.

I haven't posted in a while - we are sort of "out of" horses at the present. But I do read here still, and thought this worth sharing.

Griff appears to be correct - per Snopes this originated in Ohio. Sheesh, now someone's posting it in FL. Got nothing better to do....<grumble> Sorry yall. :?

It's going around the UK now, too -- same ad, with a UK phone number substituted. I saw it on the Facebook walls of a bunch of Facebook friends, though usually someone comments that it's "a hoax from the USA."
