YT Addict | Rehoming Puppy... Scammer?! I saw an ad for a yorke puppy looking to be rehomed in my area for only $300... and ofcourse I had to find out more information. Sounds like a scam to me. He stated he is located in Africa? Why would he post an ad in the Orlando penny saver? He also attached two pictures about the size of a penny. Has anyone recieved similar emails?

| those ads are everywhere. if you see an ad for cheap yorkies and reply to it, that is usually the email you will get back, or something similar to it.

YT Addict | ...that's what I figured. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have probably thought twice about inquiring. I've learned a lot here for sure! Thanks guys!
