Calling all horse-owners! Please read the following warning from freeze-marking company Farmkey:

"I have just received a call from a customer saying a man had just come onto
his yard, stating he works for Farmkey and needs to see the passports of
their horses to check they have a record of the Freezemark number on the
passport!! 

"We think the man has gathered that the horses are freezemark by Farmkey from
the gate sign that they have on the paddock. When the customer queried this
the man he produced a card with the Farmkey logo and photographic ID and said
his name was Martin!!

"We don't have a technician called Martin and we don't give photographic ID!
Please can you circulate and warn ASAP, please advise people to not allow
anyone onto their yard without a prior appointment or checking with the
office before allowing access Office number 0870 870 7107"
