| Warning Of Yorkie Scam i FOUND a site that offered free yorkies (actually two sites i will talk about them one at a time) ok first on the email addy was in salt lake i emailed them i was emailed back that the breeder has a friend that had 3 pups for adoption 2 females one mail that the person who purchased them moved to Nigeria....could not take care of them...ok fine...dogs were in Ill...well it turned out to be 350.00 each including airfare etc....I WAS TO western union the money to Nigeria. i contacted airlines and they said DO NOT SEND MONEY IT IS A SCAM. Second free yorkie yea right...it was in northern california 450.00 to fly the pup out to ariz or nevada....i emailed the person who had this free pup and said my husband and i could drive to where ever the pup was and pick it up...much cheaper for us to drive there than a flight for the pup...well needless to say i never heard from him again... So i am still with out a yorkie just thought i would pass this on.. also i have read this happening to others.. melmel

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | If it sounds too good to be true on the net - it USUALLY IS. THE NET IS FULL OF SCAMS and puppies are now a huge way for these Jerks to scam people out of their money. I'm glad the airlines are aware of this and warning people - too bad Western Union doesn't try to help ...they KNOW what they're being used for. |
