| WARNING Email WARNING I just got an email, sounds like a scam. Here is the email: Hello, This Rev Crisann........I am looking for a good parent that love pets,that is going to adopt my baby at the age of 12 weeks for free and that is going to take good care of her and give her a good home to stay....I want you to know that the baby is Akc Register,Nkc Register and APRI registered....So i want you to know that i still have the baby with me if you want to adopt the baby,and the baby is Beatiful i will like you to promise me that you will really take good care of her and she loved to playing with children,Adult ....I want you to know that the baby will be shipping by Delta Pet Airline Next Day Delivery let me know if you are Okay with the shipping details........I want you to know that the baby if free accept shipping cost so you can e mail me if you want to adopt her my baby. This sounds like a scam. Hopefully it is not. But if there is anyone out there that really is GIVING Away a Yorkie, they could find pleanty of people to take the baby, without having to ship. Also look at the bad English. |

| First of all, Welcome to YT! Secondly, it does definately sound like a scam. I would imagine that the person sending the email will want big time $$ for shipping. |

| First, I think people like that SHOULD get a real job!!!! Second, to use the lord as a cover lord have mercy on his soul. And last I don't like the idea of SHIPPING a yorkie or flying it I just think it's wrong. all of my furbabies I have went and pick them up. Some I drove for a very long time. This is just my option. |

| :-) Thanks for all the fast replies. This was a second email like this. Two different people. How sad! Makes me mad too. I could just see some little child sending off all the money they have to only be heart broken. So sad. Sure I could use a free Yorkie, and yes I would give him/her a GREAT home with love, pampering and travel But I am not that dumb to fall for this trap. Leslie |
