| I ran into this as well. I was looking for Yorkies on Yahoo Classifieds and ran across 7 or 8 puppies that were really cheap. Well I hadn't done all my research yet and so I didn't know how much to expect to pay for the lil one. After 2 exact emails being the exact same except for the names I knew something was up. Thanks for yahoo search I ran across YT which talked about the Nigerian scams. All 8 ads I responded too had the same story. I am just glad that there are people that can share this and hopefully we will spread the word and save people from falling for this. |
