I just scanned through this thread.....HILARIOUS!!!

This "Cindy" person from Nigeria is the one who contacted me last summer when I was looking for a yorkie. I had placed an ad on YT, and she answered and, at first, she was selling a yorkie puppy for $300. At first, she didn't tell me where she lived. Once I found out she was in Nigeria, I realized it was a scam and told her I was not going to send her any money when there's no way I can even see the puppy first. So, then she told me the puppy was "free". She said I seemed nice, and she just wanted the puppy to have a good home. She said all I'd have to do is send her $200 for the shipping fee. She even sent me an adorable picture of two baby yorkies in a basket. I found the same picture on a breeder's site and wrote to them to tell them about the scam and that people were stealing their photos.

You gals did a GREAT job!!!!
