Has anybody ever sent e-mails to newspaper ads for free doggies? I've been playing with one who has two Yorkies for FREE. You pay $650 for shipping from NJ for both or $400 for one. When I asked if I could pick them up, they said that they had to be shipped. So, I sent a "shame on you" note that they would be better to fly with me than alone. Then, they actually sent me a street address to come get them. They've sent pictures, too. I'd love to really check this out, but I know it has to be a scam. Their reason to give them up is that they can only have two pets in their apartment. Of course, I've asked for their peds and such and haven't gotten answers to those questions.

Houston Chronicle is supposedly trying to crackdown on the scammer ads. On average, there'll be 30 something ads for Yorkies, with more than half being scammers and it's so easy to pick them out.
