That's funny!! You see, I live in Africa and someone in America tried to scam me on a Yorkie pup!!
They advertise on Gumtree (which is like Craigslist) and don't say they are out of the country. When I asked for an appointment to see the litter, I got this email back telling me I could have two puppies for less than double the price of one, they would ship them together, and what the shipping cost would be...real cheap, since her husband works for Swiss Air and can get a deal.
I'm afraid others here may not catch the scam...the key to me was the unbelievably low price of the puppies...less than half what they cost here. My new baby cost me R5000---$500US. That's the going price for a top quality pup here...I've done enough research and talked to enough KUSA (our version of the AKC) breeders to know.
So, when someone in the US kvetches about a puppy scam from Africa, I have to laugh since I am actually in Africa and the scammers who tried to net me are back in the States!! |
