Default Warning! Scam! Anyone get this?

Hi everyone!
I was inquiring about a Female Yorkie on LiveDeal.com an I got this letter.. Doesn't it sound so Hokey? I have heard so much about these on the internet and so sorry that I almost fell for this one. Just warning you all about these People!

Here is the email I got back from them.

I am so glad that you are interested in my lovely pup.She is still very much available for new home.She is 10 weeks old,She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to date,she is vet checked and healthy.All her papers will accompany her, But right now i am in africa on a Christian mission with my wife and we have her right here with us.We are going to ship her to you via Express pets delivery on next day delivery after shippment through a shipping agent ,I am leaving her for free $300 for her shipping and Handling Fee you will be making the payment via western union.If you are interested in having her, i want you to get back to me with your full name,address phone number including the nearest airport to you.Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby do not reply me because i am only giving her out because we dont have time to take care of her again due to the mission work before us here.I am so excited !!! Thanks so much

May God Bless Your Soul
May the Lord Be with You
Praised The Lord

Very typical. When ever they start blessing you, you know it's a scam.

Niiiiice, yeah these are ALL OVER the internet. Once they bless you, say that they don't have time for the puppy, say they live in africa, or say the puppy is free besides shipping, then you know it's a scam. And pretty much anyone selling a yorkie for around $300 is usually a scam. I actually had someone contact me about a yorkie with the same exact story pretty much and I didn't even email her first! Be very careful. . .

hon - search this site - type the word SCAM and you'll see tons of threads about this - it's very common PLEASE DON't do business with anyone that sounds like that ever. You'll lose your money and you will NOT ever see a dog

This is a scam... . I was almost taken by one, when we lost our Friesian colt and I was looking for another Friesian,they had all the information concerning the breed and what is necessary regarding the importation etc..I have to give them credit they do their homework. .. I informed the site about them...As a matter of fact I actually got their E-mail address and informed Yahoo too........Be very careful when dealing with them.......

It's all about money for these newspapers, if you pay weekly or monthly for the add, you can say/sell whatever you want.

If it sounds too good to be true, It usually is! These guys are everywhere. Newspapers, e-mail, tv and also they will call you if you advertise a pup for sale. Be careful.

And yet another scam, are there any real breeders on the web anymore, out of 3 inquireies I got 3 scams Check for yourself


Hello,
I just sold out the puppies in question to a lovely and caring parent few days ago and the pups are doing quite well with their new parent. I have alot of great parents that had adopted pups from me and I have never regretted adopting my pups out to my chosen parent. Among the parent is the one that I would refer you to now. He was a missionary here in the USA before he got transfered to africa. He bought 2 pups from me and the pups were happy with him.Some days ago, he contacted me to find a caring parent for his pups because west africa is not the best place for this kind of dogs.
However, he had little or no time for the pups because of his commitment to his chosen assignment in west africa so, you will have to contact him as soon as you can for the adoption of the babies from him.His name is Rev Fitz Patrick and his email address is written below.

Name: Rev Fitz Patrick
Personal ID: [email]rev.fitzpatrick@gmail
Tell him you are from me and also let me know when you adopt the pups so as to send a starter-kit to you on how to care for the pups when they arrive your home.
Best Regards
