Nothing happens. Agent sends sellers a document of application for wire transfer and somehow they have a bank stamp on it that shows that the funds were transferred. Agent demands that clients send him $4k as a finder fee for the horse immediately. Agent then states that the horse will now be picked up. Clients go to the bank suspicious about the document and the bank confirmed that the document is fraudulent and no wire transfer ever occurred to clients bank account. (Bank also sent clients a declaration stating this).  Client receives a phone call from an attorney in Utah demanding payment to agent and that he will verify payment was sent via receipt, however nothing has been sent to clients.
