| How dare he call my babies an item!!! Here is our emails. Am I over reacting? I am just so annoyed! Hello , How are you? hope cool. I saw your advert about your item, pls i'm interested in buying the item, let me know the price of the items and maybe you can lay off an auction on the goods. I want you to let me know how you reacive payment ? also let me know if i can provide a deligent shipping agents for the items to be picked up and shipped out? I'll be waiting for your quick response today. Thanks and God blees you. Best Regards, Leith Barry. My response: hi! I dont have any puppies left. Also my puppies are NOT items!!!! They are living animals not items. They can be called babies, puppies, furbabies or even by their name but not items!!! Sorry but that really bothers me. I could never sell to anyone that thinks of my babies as an item!!! Thank You!! |

| I often receive emails like this one . I don't even take time to read them all . I flush them because my Yorkies are not and will never be items . You are not over reacting . |

| This IS a scam. This is the one where they send you too much money via cheque and ask that you send them the difference back. I've seen it many times before and heard of a few people who got stung by it. They keep it general 'cause they answer all types of classified ads for every type of sale. Of course they're not interested in the item...just scamming you for money. |

| I received mostly the same email when I had an ad in the paper. I just ignored it and it went away. It was too generic to answer. |

| I'm glad you sent a response back. That was so rude! But, yeah definitely a scam. It's so sad that there are people out there trying to rip others off by using innocent sweet animals. |
