I also fell for a scam too. It was some guy from Africa as well who told me he would sell me a a little girl.I was all a scam though, I ended up losing a deposit and was heart broken. I'm only 19 years old and a full time student in college, I worked hard saving up that $300 for a Yorkie. So I was crushed, I couldnt tell anyone though because I was so embarrassed and I didnt want my boyfriend or mother to know that I fell for a scam like that. Luckily, a couple weeks later my boyfriend started researching the breed since I wanted one so bad and he found a great breeder and he surprised me and took me their and got me my own little furbaby Juicy!! Thats my story
I was very lucky. But ALWAYS google/search the name of the person and their e-mail address. If you go one craigslist half of the "yorkies for sale" are all part of a scam. Be careful.
