| What's with Oodles and free Yorkies?? What kind of scam is this, and I know it is. So how do they respond when people call them? Yorkshire Terrier Pets For Sale - Oodle.com)

| Scam. No one just gives away Free Yorkies for no reason at all. These people dont sound good to me.

| Everyone needs to stay off of places like that! Craigslist, Kijii, Hoobly, Oodles they are all full of nothing but bad breeders and scammers! Just stay away and don't even look, we keep preaching good breeders, reputation, no puppymills, no BYBers! Free is NEVER really free! You asked what else to do? Use the report FRUAD link if you are so compelled to go to places like to look. But in the end it is not a good idea to be looking for a new Yorkie on any of those sites.

I have Jemma and would never look at those sites. I was trying to see if that woman in Michigan, another thread, had listed more pregnant dogs for sale. When I saw the free Yorkie ads I said wth is this? I can't imagine the people who have been scammed of money. Good grief.

| Scam artists I answered one ad this morning and have been "playing with the scammer" all day. I told him I wanted two of his Yorkies and just my luck I would be in South Africa this weekend. He went as far as giving me a legit phone number and address to pick up the dog.......... Of course I not flying to South Africa but I thought it funny that he would go as far as giving me an address and phone number to call. |

| Interesting...I received an email of this nature recently and thought it was a bit odd and just deleted it. Reading this it makes a lot more sense now... What scam will be thought of next? |

| About three years ago I was scam into the whole South Africa Free Yorkie Puppy scam I thought that the puppy was so cute and the worst came to my mind are they taking care of it and I wanted to be the good person and save him well I ended up sending over 800 dollars and it never crossed my mind that it was a scam the person even contacted me by phone. I was so excited knowing that I was going to get a yorkie. The person even went far enough to giving me a flight number that they puppy would arrive and also gave me an airlines. I went to the airport and sat there crying for about 5 hours knowing that I was an idiot. So I know that there isn't a free puppy anywhere. |

I wish more people would pay more attention because right now there is this thread going on http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ee-yorkie.html and instead of being overly cautious the OP went and we have not heard back any news.
