Hello, for the past month I've gotten 2 emails from http://staryorkie.com. They said they're giving away 1 free teacup puppy. The "entrance fee" is only $5.00. It's a puppy raffle. Here's their email:

On 04-25-08 we will give away a tiny tea cup Yorkie (Yorkshire terrier) puppy to one lucky person. To get your chance of winning this amazing bundle of joy, visit our website: WWW.STARYORKIE.COM
Thank you for your time, Have a nice day.

Anyone know if they're a puppy mill or what their operation is like? I'm a bit surprised to see something like this. And why do they phrase the purchase of their puppies as "Adopt this puppy for $4000" instead of just "Selling for $4000"? I don't get it.
