| BEWARE of this SCAMMER!!!! Yet another Internet Scammer has come to light, this one hitting WAY too close to home for me. She is passing off pictures of puppies she's attempted to buy from others (probably just to get the pictures!) as HER OWN PUPPIES, for outrageous prices $5000-$6500...and doesn't even HAVE the dogs, nor to my knowledge any other dog but a Pom named "Butter". Her name is FARRAH, and she operates out of Greenville SC under the guise of T-CupsRUs. She has sent people photos of my Mother In Laws little girl who is 1.5 years old and 2.4 lbs and claimed her to be HER DOG for SALE for $5000! The photos she has sent out, ONLY she has ever recieved! She gives a story about her husband being from India, she had no children when she talked to my MIL about buying her dog, but in my attempting to catch her, she now says she has a son, but the rest of the stories are staying true. She claims to be a real estate agent (and a credit counciler, and a mortgage broker, and her husband supposedly owns a car lot) they are "very wealthy, have a private jet, and homes all over the globe"... Sounds great right? I think this woman may be seriously mentally ill, she speaks very intelligently and says she has 4 degrees, yet can not spell. She does NOT own my MIL's dog, and I would seriously doubt she owns any of the others she tries to pass off as her "puppies for sale" either. It would be beneficial if anyone has spoken to her, and recieved pictures, for you to post them here, like I am about to do with the little girl she was trying to sell that belong to my MIL so others can see if their pictures are being used for her scam. Please let this serve as a warning, BE CAREFUL on the internet. NEVER buy a puppy unless you can lay your hands on it FIRST, see where it comes from, and meet it's parents, or at least mother. This woman talks an extremely good game, and I'm sure has convinced plenty to send her $$ and get NO DOG. Here are the pictures of the little girl she was trying to sell. Her website is www.Tcupsrus.com and if anyone wants her phone number, I have that too! If anyone else has recieved these pictures, please let me know. Thanks for reading.

No, they are pictures that were ONLY emailed to her to SEE the dog. She was interested in buying her, but she never came through (I guess her private jet was out of gas that day)...but she SURE put the pics to good use! She is the ONLY person who had ever seen those pics before she started sending them out as her own dog for sale, and until I posted them just now. I PERSONALLY took those pictures, and they have been on my PC since then, never sent to another person. The dog in the pictures is no longer for sale, she is to much of a loved family member to ever go anywhere.

| Wow... I'm speechless! I used to think if breeders had a website, they're at least somewhat ligit. Never would I think they weren't! This changed my entire perspective... We definitely have to be more careful! |

| Pat, she didn't indicate when she was talking to my MIL or me that she HAD a website, a "brokering business", or anything other than her DEAR LITTLE BUTTER, her pomerainan, who is supposed to be neutered, but I guess that's a lie too..he's up for stud! LOL Wonder how much stud fee is on a neutered dog? LOL

| The little orphan girls I've been hand raising's new mommy saw the pics as I was showing her some on my PC of some dogs..and she said WAIT..go back.. and she told me that she almost bought that dog! So of course I had to send her to where she REALLY lives to meet her in person, and the whole story unraveled! The world suddenly got VERY small.

| She gives her phone number and address on her site. She even says that breeders use her site to sell their pups. This whole thing is very odd. The 7 year health contract would def send up red flags. Michelle |
