I just wanted to update everyone on my search for a Yorkie. The craziest thing is that I have made contact (by email) with about 5 different people and every single one has given me a similar story. Someone just came and got the dog, then was transferred to either Africa, Nigeria or somewhere for mission work and then called requesting they find a new owner for the Yorkie. Some of them wanted the amount they paid for the dog plus shipping charges from the location and then some would give the dog for free but wanted shipping charges. I just received my 6th one this morning. Now I was directed by several individuals to the puppyfind.com website and this is where most of it is taking place. Now I did contact one through another website (sorry, I can't remember which one) and the website contacted me immediately stating it was a possible scam and to send ABSOLUTELY no money. I just wanted to let everyone else know in case there were others out there like me........a little to quick to be trusting. Now, granted I have not sent any of them any money and actually sent them an email back stating that they were operating a scam and would receive no money from me. One of them was actually here in Oklahoma. Shame on all of you!!!!!!!! I did talk to a lady last night (bless her heart that I am so suspicious now) from Oklahoma and she is a breeder and I think we are going to try to make arrangements for a dog. It is so hard to make a decision based on a picture alone. I could drive the 2 1/2 hours to look and then decide but won't be able to get the puppy until next week because of one more detail she needs to take care of. Or my other option is to make a decision from a picture, or drive the distance to look and then she will deliver to me on Thursday for no additional charge. Oh what a hard decision to make. But thank all of you for your replies and to those of you who I have talked to on the phone. I will for sure let you know if this doesn't work out. |
