Donating YT 14K Club Member | Yuppers...that's definitely a scam! Speaking of, I haven't heard back from David. Guess he did get ran off when I said I had a friend that could pick up the pup!

| Yes, It's a came, Who knows what they want, but I wouldn't open any e-mails from people you don't know. Just delete them.

| Yeah. It's a scam. You can also play with them and tell them you accept cash. |

There was another case recently where some lady bid on an ebay dress. She did not win because the reserve price was set high. Later she got an email saying that her bid was close enough and to western union about $2500 . She never saw a dress. So be careful out there! | |

When I was selling Mollie's pup's, I got several of these. They are all scams. It's a shame that people do things like this.
