If the forum rules had been followed Maggies scam would not have been allowed, she hadn't permission to start a thread from admin/mods or from the rescue itself.
Even with the rules in place it wouldn't have stopped the other possible scam with the raffle for a run - he had been a member for a few months and had over 150 posts also a lot of people had placed orders for hutches and runs from him, so there was no need to suspect he would try to scam members.
I think we all have to take responsibility for parting with our money when supporting fundraisers, if you haven't heard of someone check their previous posts, if they're new then question as to why they would start fundraising, check with the rescue yourself, if in doubt keep your money in your pocket.
Finally if you are really suspicious like me, then you should have emailed Forsham Cottage Arks, who said "we have not sold one recently to anyone to our knowledge that is offering it as a prize" - they do have other outlets around the country, however, I assume they would be retail and wouldn't be able to sell one at a huge discount as Maggie had claimed she had bought it for:?
So as someone said if it looks too good to be true it probably is
