Hay sellers using the Arkansas Hay Directory at hayproducers.uaex.edu/ should beware of possible sham buyers. People posing as hay buyers have been contacting growers via email, attempting to trick them into cashing fraudulent checks, taking out the money owed them for the hay and wiring the rest to supposed truckers.
One grower's experience with possible scammers will be detailed on hayandforage.com soon.
