| my first post here, should have been really excited... :( I am looking for a new yorkie pup this week and came across this site last night. So I am trying to learn more while I shop around. This morning I found out one of the contacts I have been talking to via email is a scam. I am now really bummed out. I mean, I am already worried about the new pup condition and so forth...now I have to worry about people taking money from me?! anyways...my husband cross checked it for me this morning and found this thread of all pet fraud. Hope this will be helpful to others: Fraudulent Websites of Pet Scammers 2012 - Page 14 - Fraudwatchers |

| So sorry to hear about your experience. Generally we recommend that one should choose the breeder first, then the puppy. Hope you find your perfect furbaby soon!

| Any time you are buying without going to the breeder home and seeing the pup you are running the risk that its a scam
