| Strange Email So I was checking my email this evening, and this was on there. I have not emailed this guy at all. I have emailed a couple of people in reference to yorkies, but it has been a couple of weeks, and this one just popped up. I know some of you on here like to fool around with scammers - have at it if you want. "Thanks for your interest in my baby. she is well trained. she is good and sweet to be part of your family. she is loved by everybody. she has been adopted by rev allenking who stays in New jersey before but presently has been transfered to West africa, Nigeria to beprecise. i just received a call from him that he want to leave this lovely baby out to someone that will take good care of her for $300,because he his very busy now and he don't have time to take good care of her. i am sure that he will be happy to give you the baby if you promise that you will take good care of her. you cancontact him at revallenking@yahoo.com . please get back to me as soonas you adopt the baby. Thanks Philip James" Have fun! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I hate to say it - but those scammers actually make money doing this - just think - if they send 100 emails out and only ONE person falls for it - that's free money .....but they do it on a much bigger scale. They know how to play on peoples emotions - they SUCK. |

| Typical...... $300 is the magic number, West Africa (Nigeria to be precise), the famed Reverend Allen King and note that it is signed using two Biblical great names Phillip and James. Sublimal message - I'm good and Holy so trust me. I wish there was a way to fix his fancy pants..... |

| Please We Have Many Ads Just Like That In Our Local Paper. It Is Amazing That All These People Have All The Popular Breeds But Yet They Just Can't Take Care Of Them, So For $300.00 Or So And I Have Even Seen "for Free" You Can Have Their Baby That They Can No Longer Care For.. It Is Really Sad That The Local Papers Continue To Publish Their Ads. I Feel Sorry If People Don't Check Out Who They Are Getting Their Baby From They Can Be Out The Money And Sure In For Heart Ache !!!

| You can forward his letter to Yahoo along with a note and have him shut down on that address. I did this to one guy and they shut down that address and said that they are investigating him but could not disclose any other information to me because I was a third party. It may not stop him but it will slow him down a little and maybe Yahoo will get him in the long run. Also there is a spam address here you can forward it too also. spam@uce.gov At least it is worth a shot.
