Vast is 100% scam! Read up about the African Puppy Scam, it's horrible what they do to people and those who fall for it. After I lost Buddy, I found vast and thought I found the girl of my dreams... after he dropped where his location was, I knew it was a scam.... HE even quoted the bible!

After doing research, I found a nice breeder from a nice family and got my Yorkie puppy for $800. I had to travel about an hour outside of Staten Island (part of NYC) to get him, but it was worth the trip.

Here's the emails:

ME:
I would like to have more information and details about your Yorkie puppy... thank you.

HIM:
Hello, thanks for the mail. I really appreciate your concern. I still have the female baby yorkie. I am willing to give her out for free adoption if you will promise me that you will take good care of her. My reason for doing so is because my wife died and this puppy was her pet dog and since she died, there has been no body here to take good care of her, i am out for a good home for her. Her name is Velma .She is 12 weeks old,Vet check, up to date shots and will be coming with all health papers and records. She will go for just $120 re homing fee.Get back to me if interested, I will wish to know some more information about you and if you will be willing to adopt this baby. I will also like to inform you that the animal rescue team advised me that i should be careful because free dogs are always used for dog fighting. I will not like this to happen to Velma. So taking Velma to your home will be for a good home. Okay Thanks. I will be waiting.

ME:
Oh my God, I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I just recently lost my father and I understand the heartache you are feeling.

I've had a Yorkie, named Buddy, who lived to 19 years old. The only stress he had in his life were the times he had to go to the vet or groomer. Buddy lost his life to cancer and since then my home has been even emptier (especially since my family has lost my father). The joy of a puppy will bring a happier spirit to my home, hence the reason I made a search and found your ad.

I will be happy and answer any questions you have to prove this is an animal loving home and Velma would be in no danger of being rehome or used in any barbaric acts. Little Velma will have the run of my house and a large yard. My mother, brother and I spend a great deal in the yard working out or gardening, so her play time in the yard will be supervised and as long as she likes.

Also, I would like to know if she is fixed and microchipped?

HIM:
Thanks very much for your concern, My wife was a very caring woman, I will not let her dog go to any kind of home. I am also happy that you promise to give Velma the best home and love.
Below are some of her pictures. I will like to inform you that i am located in Cameroon and i will also wish that you get back to me with your full names,contact address,phone number and the name of the nearest airport to your home address, i will be shipping this dog over to you. I am asking just a Re homing fee of $120 because i will not like to let Velma go for free without adoption, i am also preventing her from being use for dog fighting. As soon as you send me the money, i will take her to the airport to book her flight to your locality, after booking the flight, i will then get back to you with the full flight information so that you know the exact time that she will be delivered to you. An agent will come and deliver her right at your home address.
