| Scam Scam Scam I believe it is a scam I saw something about it on a news show but I can't remember which one. First they ask for 200.00 then they ask for more and more. Stay away from them.

| Yes run fast!! Hope you find a perfect little furbaby. Remember it's much better to find a breeder that you can go visit and see where the puppies come from, see the parents and their living conditions. There are lots and lots of scamers, puppy mills and back yard breeders out there ready to take your money. Good luck!!

| They get you to send the shipping fee to them and then you hear nothing from them again. It's a big scam. Find someone who shows these Yorkies and has puppies. Would you consider a retired one from a breeder? |

| S-C-A-M! Stay away! Stop emailing them... unless of course you want to play with their minds... that's fun! Don't try looking on those internet sites like livedeal and craigslist. Most of them are scams! Try looking your newspaper, go to vet's offices and pet stores to see if anyone has ads up... try searching on the internet for local breeders and check out the akc website, they have breeders listed there!
