Before I found YT, and learned of the best ways to find a breeder, I answered an ad, in my regular paper, it gave an e-mail address and I had never even heard of this type of scam before. I got an e-mail back saying the person only wanted $500.00 for a Yorkie and she was moving and had to get rid of it. My daughter-in-law was much more savvy in this sort of thing, and knew right away it was a scam. One of the biggest signs is that they want you to wire money, and they will never let you see the dog. Thank goodness, for YT because I know so many people have saved a bundle for not falling for these things, and with threads like this, we will continue to teach people to be very cautious. |
