I replied to 1 ad and it was a scam after that I got more and more emails different names and numbers but all the same thing. one of them did say to pay for the puppy through a third party THIER third party turns out the third party name they gave me had the same number as one of the other emails I got saying they had a puppy for sale. it's terrible but you have to be soo careful getting anything over the internet. I went through delta when I got my neo and I paid shipping directly to delta. The breeder took him and got everything set up and called me with the info and gave me like a reservation number and I paid Delta directly I paid for the pup through paypal. it made me feel better I knew even if the pup didnt' show up that I was getting my money back for shipping and the money for him was insured through paypal. | |

| Beware of an ad on the puppy websites claiming to be adopting Yorkie puppies for $200 plus $90 shipping. She says her name is Cindy Preston and claims to be in Riverdale Georgia. Ask for a copy of her driver’s license and she will give you some lame excuse of being too busy. She will actually give you a New York phone number which obviously transfers you somewhere else, probably India or Moscow. The number she gives is 516-714-3194 and is registered to what appears to be a Pakistani name. She requires payment in advance through Moneygram and even promises to meet you half way with the puppy. If you want it delivered it will come to your door through American Airlines. They do not do door to door. Her writing is poor with type-O’s and bad grammar. I have reported her to Feds and the Texas Attorney General’s office. Avoid anything similar to this scam. |

| Yes, this is a scam. Western Union is the scammer's preferred payment method because once the money is sent, you have no recourse and you will be out the money you have sent. Anyone interested in a Yorkie, please check with your local shelters or rescues. There are numerous animals of all breeds and ages there and many have been dropped off because their owners think they can no longer care for them financially...

WESTERN UNION NEVER SEND MONEY to any one this way no matter how good it sounds - you have no recourse. I didn't even read rest of the ad once I saw that | |

| Strange. I posted my Beware of Yorkie Scam as a new thread but it still hasn't shown up. Wonder of an administrator is holding it because I am a new member? |

And let's not forget the old saying: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Good Luck!
