| More Outrageous Scams on Puppyfind It's outrageous how many scams are on puppyfind.com Where do these people get off doing this. And if they're gonna scam, the least they can do is make it believable. This scammer has 5 "homeless" yorkies, yet not a single ad shows a picture of a yorkie. see ads This scammer likes to steal photos from pet apparel and accessories ads. Not only does he steal the pictures, he also steals the description straight off the ads. I've never known a yorkie to be described as "Velour Dog Bed is ultra soft and richly hued in jewel tone colors for the ultimate in luxurious comfort." see ad This one evidently took the effort to remove the watermark from the stolen pic. see ad Ever heard of a yorkie with 80lb parents? see ad This is by far one of my fav's. The picture doesn't depict any yorkie I've ever seen. However if the pedigree and health is as good as they claim....hehehe...see ad If I were so disgusted, I'd laugh at the complete outrageousness of these ads and the audacity of these scammers. |

| wow! Homeless yorkies yet NONE of those pups are yorkies at all! ONe is even a german sheppard pup (waaaaaaaaaay off).Doesnt anyone complain? Dont they realise that people arent stupid and can SEE whats going on? Then the ad of yet another homeless yorkie where the other photo is a chi? Are we supposed to think that this is the same dog with a costume on? And as for a man standing in front of his white car as a picture..well... How do websites like this make a buisnes? Surely no one actaully buys from these places? You can tell straight away that something isnt right when they start putting pictures of dogs under the wrong breed,in one of those even the wrong species! Its obvious to me that there are no pups,it makes me sick! Some people want a dog because they are lonley,because they are sick and want company etc,and these people are there to take advantage..its not fair and should be stopped! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I totally agree - these ads need to be better monitored - it would be hard to do but when it's so obvious - why can't they remove them ? I feel TERRIBLE for anyone who would send money only to get ripped and have NO dog to show for it....That's just sick ....and so sad for the innocent people just wanting to bring a dog into their lives. |

| Thanks...I needed a good laugh. I saw the one with the guy and the car last night. Wonder what they're trying to hid in those genes...(Get it? Genes...jeans...ah nevermind, I poor attempt at humor early in the morning ) Anyway, really sad if you ask me. Would the site not be liable for all the scams on there. I mean, they are assisting these crooks by allowing them the gate for commiting this type of fraud...right? They obviously make no attempt at verifying and monitoring what goes on there? |

| Puppyfind is the worst! They don't care about furbabies, they only care about $$$$$$. What I want to know is where do all these scammers find all this spare time????? They really need to get a life!
