| Sometimes I can be such a B---h! Just hate these scams! Okay, I know there's been a lot of Nigerian Scam talk on here, and I wanted to share my story. I found two Yorkies on petfinder.com for cheap. I knew d-mn well that they were scams, but I wanted to see. I wrote two people the exact same email: Why are your Yorkies so cheap? 1. houstonpowell05@yahoo.com 2. ritabrettg@yahoo.com The first email from houston said: She's still available.thou am currently in Africa,Nigeria to be precise on a missionary from church and it more reason why am doing away with her because the weather here is so harsh,so if you are really interested about getting her I can get her ship to you asap through Delta First Pet Airline on next day delivery which I used in bringing her down here You can email me right away if there is any other thing you will like to know about her I wrote back: Another Nigerian Scam? May God have mercy on YOUR soul. Missionary my a--!!!!! (but I spelled out the curse) THEN!! I get an email from Rita quoting what I wrote to Houston. She said: may GOD have mercy on you why did u use GOD'S name like that? Then, of course I had to write her again: I found it funny how you referenced the email I sent to houstonpowell05@yahoo.com Are we the same people? HELLO!! If you want to make money, get off your lazy a-- and get a f-----g job!!!!!!!!!! Did they teach the word Loser in Nigeria? If not look it up in Webster, and I bet your picture will be there amongst many of your other friends. Oh, and have a God fearing day! I think it's FUN to play with these idiots.

| AT least those people are saying the red flag words like Nigeria and Africa.I just read where someone sent $900 for an english bulldog. She sent the money to North Carolina I believe and the police found out that it ended up in Nigeria. So the scammers are getting smart and not mentioning that they aren't in the US. They're just re-routing the money. |

| Nicole, Will you please send me the link on Petfinder for these two cheap dogs you are talking about. Petfinder is not a scam and only deals with rescue's so I want to report this to Petfinder so they can investigate. What is the rescue's name and what is the name of the dogs?

| This is so sad, that these sick people would use our little furbabies to scam good people out of their money! And most people don't just pull this money right out of their pockets, they have to save it for a long time. It's sad that they are using puppy finder to do this too.
