| scam with yorkies????? Has anybody heard about the evangleist in West Africa trying to get someone to adopt two yorkies? I am pretty sure that it is a scam. I called one of the petmovers to see what the price would be to send them to me to the US and the lady warned me that it could be a scam and that the cost to ship them from West Africa to the US is about $1000.00. I have been back and forth with this person and told him that I would pay the movers instead fo him. Just waiting to see what he says next. Just wanted to for warn people about this. |

| scams I was trying to purchase a yorkie through a local newspaper. And I ran across an ad add for a free yorkie. When I emailed the person the replied said they were moving to Nigeria and only wanted me to give them $300 for shipping. And I also got the same reply for a Maltese saw I knew it was a scam. |

| Yes that's a very old scam. One person on here actually got the person to admit that she was scamming her.
