| So angry and disgusted by the scammers out there. I have been scammed. Thankfully, I at least got my Jesse out of it. As some of you know, I adopted Jesse, a supposed puppymill rescue from a "rescue" called RMARC in Southern California. Jesse was listed on 1800saveapet.com, as well as here on YT. I will provide links below. I paid the $300 rehoming fee happily. I was told that RMARC neuters all of their dogs, and since they had not yet neutered Jesse, I could bring him back for neutering with their vet, which would be included as part of the rehoming fee. I was also told that he was AKC registered and up to date with shots. When I picked Jesse up I was told that they had not had a chance to get his medical and registration papers from the vet office, and that they would follow in the mail. They never did. I was also never able to get a hold of the contact at the rescue to schedule a date for neutering. Not a single phone call was answered, not a single message returned, not a single email replied to. I began to suspect that they were a scam. I attempted to file a complaint with Paypal. No suprise, the account is now inactive and the seller not available for contact. Just now, I was browsing the YT threads and found a gem in the rescue/rehome section. The same woman who I adopted Jesse from (her name and phone number are listed in the thread), is now offering other Yorkies for adoption through a different rescue name. Beware of her! I doh't know whether these are really rescued Yorkies being rehomed by an incredibly irresponsible woman, or a total scam. For all I know, she is stealing dogs and reselling them for profit. I took Jesse for a general checkup when I first got him. Now I need to schedule an emergency appointment. I don't knwo that anything they told me is true. His age, health, pedigree, vaccinations. I also now want to check if he is microchipped. As much as it would break my heart, if he was stolen from a loving family and sold to me, it is only fair that he be given back. I pray that I am wrong. I pray that this woman calls me tomorrow to clear everything up. If and when she does, I will be the first to clear her name. In the meantime, beware! She is actively advertising Yorkies, and is even a member of YT. If anyone has had experiences with her or knows something that I do not, please share. I fear for the condition that her "rescues" might be living under. At least I got my sweet Jesse. Others are not so lucky.

| I can't believe that this kind of stuff happens to innocent people like us!!! She will get her karma... I hope your dog isn't already someone's pet. But you will do the right thing. That's the most important thing. Thanks for posting this. *Buyer beware!* |

| Did you also report her to 1800SaveAPet? They would be very interested by this scam, I would think. This is so sad.

| I am sorry to hear you are dealing with this situation; it is good that you discovered her scam so fast. I read the thread and some yt member was on to her. It's good you are putting this information out for everyone to be aware of especially since she is using another name on yt. |

| As far as I know, she is not using another YT name (although she very well could be). She is now using a different rescue name. Like, and entirely different organization suddenly emerged. |
