| Yep...it Was A Scam! That post on here a few hours ago about the "free" pups was def a scam. I im the person to find out where all in the world they could get in a few hours. Well now they are in sandeigo...were they not in NY when they posted?? Heres the reply I got... Hi Kelley, i must say Thank you for your interest in adopting my litle puppies,You asked if it's for the mom or pup? it is for the both. You see my dear, there are many scammers out there looking for whom to scam infact everybody should be very careful not to fall into their hand, due to my missionarry work here in sandiego, I can no longer take care of the puppies because I am very busy,thats I will love to give them out to a Christian home or family that can really take good care of them and shower them with the love and attention they deserve. The puppy are vet checked and is up-to-date on all shots and are current on vaccination.Shipping includes the puppies, worming record, vaccination record and a starter kit for the puppies and also the puppies toys, if you know you cant take care of them you should just forget about her, money is not really the issue here I just want a good home for the puppies where they can be loved and showered with love and attention.For shipping sends all contact information, this should include your full name, address, state, city and zip code and the nearest airport to your home. The adoption fee is only $550 including the shipment for both.But one goes for $300. Thanks and God bless you and your good family. Yours truly, Jody just though those of you who also saw the post would be interested to read this.

| Darn, I wonder if they would let me send this check I already have made out. It is for 1000.00 and they can just send me the refund for the other 500.00 before they ship the puppy. |

| Isnt that the exact name he used on the other thread? You would think they would at least remember which lies they tell so they can keep their stories straight. They arent even good at being scam artists. Last edited by CO_yorkie_momma; 07-01-2007 at 07:42 PM. |

| Yup that's why I recognized it. I think most of us have become experts on this. I would like to think that no one on YT would ever fall for it. But you never know.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | no kidding - I don't know how people fall for these jerks but they do ...there's so many red flags and usually just by their STYLE you can see they're full of it. |
