| I think this is a scam What do you guys think? Hello, So sorry, The puppy you intend buying was adopted by Mrs jennifer Green,from Ohio a staff of Unicef (united nations children and educational fund). She resently traveled out of the state on a foreign mission to (West Africa) to supervice, a joint program with the ministry of education in that place. But she wrote me a mail saying that she wants to give the puppy up for adoption reason's because the residentail area she was allocated to, has a blanket ban on animals(pets included). So if you are really very interested in adopting the puppy contact her directly on her e-mail. Her e-mail is jennifergreen47@yahoo.com Say i directed you to her. Mrs susan |

| YEP!! It is! Next they'll want you to send money via Western Union... Ignore them or you'll be out of some money and still wanting a puppy! If you're shopping for a pup right now, I would suggest that you Google the words 'puppy scam' and become aware of the scams that are out there. Save yourself some heartache.

| yeah I could tell something was fishy about this. I cant understand why people would break a persons heart by pulling a scam like this on someone who just wants to give a puppy a good home. |

| definite scam, so appalling. but its so great that more and more people are becoming aware of it. good luck with your puppy search, try contacting some of the breeders in the forum, they are trustworthy and wont scam you and wont try to have your puppy neutricaled.<3

| It is a scam. Anytime they mention getting a dog from Nigeria or some other far away country it is. They only care about the money and usually don't know much about yorkies. But they are getting better at it. I have seen more of these ads coming up as of late. I always post that it's a scam and I highly encourage others to as well! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I wish the laws would get tougher on these people because it's like they're taking over the net - there are so many scammers out there these days it's really scary and sad when someone is expecting a new puppy - and loses their Money AND never gets the dog. |
