We currently have one yorkie left for sale and I believe we were contacted tonight by someone trying to scam us. Below is their email to me...has anyone seen anything like this and where can I report it? We obviously know that we should not accept any money via western union nor will we be sending our puppy off to meet an unknown person. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the email you sent me and i will like you to reserve me the male puppy for me for my little 2 kids they are both male and one is 5yrs old and the other is 10yrs old i want to buy the pup for them to have a time with them and make them happy and also to let you know that payment will be by cashier's check or money order. In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the payment as I do not want to send the Payment to a wrong location lest they get into the wrong hands.
Regarding the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pickup of my consignments for me and ship to my destination in anywhere in the U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping,the company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to my destination.
I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be receiving an overdraft payment, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please,as soon as you receive the payment,go and cash it immediately,deduct the money that occurs to you and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment via Western union,The payment will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, please reconfirm your details one more time I will give you the details of the company that will be shipping it as soon as we seal this seal Once the money is received by the agent,the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately.
So in view of the above, here are some of the details I will need
for final issuance of the check or money order to you.

(1) Full Name .........
(2) Mailing address .......
(3) Your direct telephone both home and cell( NO PO BOX )
{4} Acceptance of my offer .....
(5) Final asking price ..........

Once you get back to me with all the above, the payment will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you Hope to hear from you immediately Looking forward to your swift response.
Finally i am making you a promise that the puppy will be taken Good care of and all the time and will make it just like a child and nurtured like my friend,companion and pet at the same time,never lacking any care and love from me at any point,i will also send you pictures from time to time for you to see what love i it gets from me.
Hope to hear from you immediately.

Regards

NB: I will give you extra 50$ for reserving me the puppy.
