| Scam Recently I tried to buy some pups over the internet. There is awlful scam going on. These people say they are missionaries and have been relocated and they can not keep there yorkies. I found these people at ...puppy find.com, domestic sales.com... The add says .. FREE YORKIES ..to good home. You pay shipping and handling of $200.00 or $300.00 each. They even have what appears to be others that recommend the people that are selling. They ask all the right ????. They are from Afrcia, Nigra, Alabama, Everywhere.. please e-mail before you buy a cheap free puppy. I will tell you more. I was scammed , I was a fool |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OH NO you poor thing - PLEASE be very careful - the net is FULL of scammers - if it sounds TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ...chances are.... it IS These people work FULL TIME to scam innocent people out of their money - ALWAYS QUESTION Ads you see - check out the breeders before ever sending money - A REAL Breeder would never offer deals like that...remember - nothing is free unless you're looking into a rescue or rehoming - the Net Scammers are taking over the Pets for Sale Sites..... |

| I'm so sorry that happened to you! I am also looking for a pup. I have emailed many, many ads from all different websites and it is so obvious now who are scammers and who really want to find good homes for their puppies. I have a rule now.. the only way i will get a dog is if I can pick her up at the person's house. Whenever I get a email that I know is a scam I will actually mess with them. I try to get their hopes up as if I am really going to send them money. After emaling this one scammer for weeks back and fourth he finally caught on that I wasn't going to send him money he got so mad that he wrote back swearing at me! I couldn't stop laughing. If you do a search on here you will find many other people have also messed around with them. I think it's hilarious. |

| Thank you all for your kind words. Carlerulesme..good for you Mellah.. I did drive to pick them up all the way to Alabama. I did go to the police . I have a case number. The dective told me he has been trying to catch these people for awhile now they have many reports of this in there area. I went to the so called address it was an apt complex. the manager said she gets calls all the time over this and many start crying. I did too! The dective said they have gotten away almost 400 thousand $$ .
