[Amazing Yorkies]

Thought I would share this, just in case.
This just happened Thursday to a breeder I know.
A guy called on Wednesday, wanted a pup on Friday for a gift. Had been searching for the "right" pup. Found him with her.
He transferred money from his Credit Union on Thursday. She was a little leary about giving her information out, but her Banker told her it would be fine. The Breeder had him call her from the Credit Union and she talked to the lady, at the Credit Union, gave her the banking information. The Lady told her since it was after 2pm the transfer would occur on Friday. The Lady gave her a confirmation number, and hung up.
She shipped on Friday, and had to leave at 5am to ship, too early to see if the money made it to her account before she shipped. She talked to him Friday morning, he got the pup, loved him, the surprise was great and everything seemed to have worked out.
Needless to say, no money ever showed up in her account.
Today, she is in tears! Called the guy, and now his phone is disconnected....
Now she is so worried about her puppy, out the money and even paid for the shipping.
I send and receive wires all the time. But I do wait until the money is in my account before the puppy goes anywhere. Even if it ruins the surprise. And I ask lots of questions. I once had a guy ask for something similar to this, I started asking questions, he hung up.. LOL
