Thumbs down Nigerian Yorkie Scam BEWARE!

Oh my... I can't even believe this! These Nigerian Scams are getting bigger and bigger....

I was just poking around looking at Yorkies on the web yesterday because I am going to buy a little girl soon. I came across an add on craigslist. "Summer is coming, I am too busy to care for this little girl, free to good home" So I write, ask for some more information... already it's sounding fishy to me!! I ask about the health of the yorkie, where she came from, etc... and THIS is what I get back.......
