| Help Information ?? Scam or Not I am planning on purchasing a yorkie ..I found one out of state I have to pay first ..Now my question is ..He wants me to send monies This is what he told me ... through Express Pets Delivery on next day delivery. Go ahead and make the payment to the shipping agent with the information I gave to you through Western union . Does this sound like a scam or does it usually work this way.???.

| Yes and I've heard that if they expect payment before you have the actual pet in your hands then they're not legit. I'd stay far away because it sounds like it could get messy if he decides not to coperate. Best of Luck.

I would suggest using a puppy escrow service.
