It is a shame that it is necessary to issue a warning to prospective and existing clients, a PSA if you will, about the fraudulent efforts that pervade social media platforms. Sadly there has been a recent rash of the ‘fraud’ disease with postings on social media that poach photos from the Horizon Structures website or press materials and claim the structures as ones they will provide – given of course – you ‘ante’ up the cash.

Never part with any money or funds in any format without being 100% certain you are working with the real ‘leading modular horse barn’ company, us - Horizon Structures!

“ Please do not be fooled by these brazen false actors that seek to lure you in and scam you,” says C.M.O, Jill Siragusa at Horizon Structures, “ Our presence on social media platforms is easy to ascertain as genuine as it is always under our brand name, we never post anything under any other brand name. Neither do we share any photos of our buildings without express consent. All our materials and creative assets are copyrighted and protected. We do our very best to have these fraudsters’ activities halted and posts taken down, but it is difficult to monitor everything that pops up on social media or media platforms. As folks know, we build a lot of horse barns! “
While the Oscar Wilde quote may be relevant in some cases, “ Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” in these cases it is a guise to defraud people.
Similarly, the current, “ 6th Annual Run-In Shed Giveaway” has also received some unwanted attention, with posts that state winners have already been announced. This is not true. Access to the application page is directly on the Horizon Structures website and is secure. The rules and Terms/Conditions of the contest are readily available for download on that application. Including what dates for Finalists and the Winner will be announced. These Finalists will be contacted by Horizon Structures, and their names will be posted on the Horizon Structures media outlets, as will the Winner. Be sure to check them out (see link below).
“ If folks see this abuse anywhere we’d really appreciate a ‘heads up’ so we can shut it down,” states Siragusa.
Meantime here is a list of things you should know to help protect yourself from these bad actors:
- Horizon Structures website at https://www.horizonstructures.com/ is secure, and online purchases with a deposit are always available, as are financing options (including interactive options for immediate information on premiums etc.).
- Horizon Structures always gives a ‘to the penny’, upfront quote for the horse barn, including freight and delivery/set up. If it is not included e.g. on our Sales Lot because we don’t have your location info, that is stated.
- If you have doubts about the veracity of a posting you see please ask us. You are welcome to call our team anytime directly at (888) 447-4337.
- Horizon Structures will never ask for monies to be transferred to a bank account or other payment service such as Paypal/Venmo or Bitcoin etc. without prior agreement and executed contracts. Our accounts are all verified.
