BANNED! | I've had it-Lets scare this scammer!! Ok so this guy is pretending to have a yorkie for sale on craigslist and I have an idea. If we all email this guy and tell him we know what he is doing perhaps it will scare him enough to stop this b.s....Here's his email address:"glen banks" <glenbnks@yahoo.com> He is using this photo and I know ive seen it before, so if its from your breeder or anyone you know please inform him/her that this loser is using their pictures for scams. This is what he emails ppl back saying..thanks for the mail,she is 9 weeks old,shots ,vet checked ,akc registered,here are some pictures,all i am asking for her is a donation of $250 to our new orphanage in cameroon.see pictures scam found 52507.jpg Then he sends you this email trying to coax ppl into believing his story!! i am in new york where shipping will be available i will take care of that just mail me with your shipping details and nearest airport with code,since shipping will take only 3 hours flight duration with security and safety guaranteed.Please promise you will take good care of he?. I am hoping that enough of us YT ppl can scare him enough that he will spread the word to other scammers there... |

BANNED! | Pretend to be a cop or something mean like that..Lets see if we can scare some of these scammers. Just be very mean to this jerk. He is stealing pictures off of breeders websites and using it to scam ppl out of their money and never to send a puppy. |

| Oh and let me add that one time I came across my Pia being sold on puppyfind.com I emailed the person and asked all kinds of questions. They really thought they had me Finally in my last email I sent a pic attached of Pia with my other two babies and scared this person to death. My fiancee was telling me what to type and I even had them apologizing. These scammers are just terrible. There was also one time I made this person from Nigeria think I was sending money. I made him crazy for three days. I made up fake western union numbers and when he went to get the money it obviously wasn't there, LOL!! I kept making excuses to why the number I gave was wrong and then finally on the 3rd day he asked me if I was trying to scam him.
