| Anyone ever hear of this lady? Angela or Josie Driggers from Cape Girardeau ,MO? I was looking on a local website where I found Yoda and saw a beautiful picture of a female yorkie. I didn't recognize the area code of the phone number so I sent an email to request price/pictures/info on the puppy. I received an email back wanting to know where to ship the puppy and what my budget was for getting her. I wouldn't buy a puppy and have it shipped without ever seeing the puppy face to face unless I knew that the breeder was reputable and then I still may have some doubt. Anyway, I know many of you have purchased without ever meeting your furbaby face to face. What do you think? The fact she asked me for my budget without giving me a price is supicious to me. I would think that the price of the puppy is the price of the puppy. If I could not afford the asking price, I wouldn't be able to afford everything else that comes along with having a puppy.

| Never heard of her. I never saw Max before purchasing him, but 2 others on here bought from the breeder also. They got theirs ok, so I went & got Max. I would never do it without knowing someone that did business with the breeder. It's getting to scarry out there on scams.

| So she emailed me back Here was my reply to her email: Thank you for your reply. Can I ask why you are advertising in Florida on Ocala4sale.com? Also, you didn't tell me how much you are asking for her? and her reply: well,its more like i got to know about ocala4sale from a friend who says there are a lot of pet lovers who go to see if they can get a pet to adopt from there and since what i najorly want for my baby is someone who will love her and adore her just as she deserves to be,i decided to advertise there.And in regards to how much i am asking for her,her adoption fee is $400 which of course id negotiable.The most important thing is the purpose for which the person is adopting her.If its to just keep her at home or to actually show her love and care.So thats just it...So are you still wanting her?

They run these scams in different newpapers and on the net. I'm from the area and there is no number in the phone book for this person. Also, it sound just like an e-mail I recieved a few month ago. They sent a pic of a cute pup ..I ask for more pics and some of the parents. If they were the breeders, and where they were located. All I got back was how are you going to pay for the pup and what my budget was for getting her..also in the paper this ad didn't have a phone number.. just a Yahoo E-mail address. I even Called the newspaper trying to get them to pull the add before someone got ripped off. But they continued to run it... If you want to know for sure PM me the number and I'll call and tell them I want to see the pup. I bet they would tell me its already sold....I really hate dishonest people. | |

| Hey... Sherrry... you beat me to it!... I just looked up the phone number also and could not find it. Yorkiegirl2 (Sherry) and I both live about 10 minutes from Cape Girardeau.
