Most scams to me seem so obvious, glad this lady was exposed, but how could anyone send money insecurely anyways? No matter whom you are dealing with in any situation never, not have a sales contract (read it closely or you might be in my shoes) send money securely where you have protection, if in person and pay cash, get a receipt if it is not included in the contract. Always save all correspondence! I wish I hadn't had so many phone calls between the breeder I got my Elvis from-she was apparently very smart in scamming people she made certain comment in writing and "clarified" and made others when we spoke on the phone-I thought nothing of it until it was too late...it stinks adopting a puppy is such a sales situation but it is...buyer beware and sellers apparently too. Common sense should weed out most-but wow how some things are sneaky and slippery!
Back to this situation-it's just icky she prayer on perhaps naive people about the adoption process etc...I hate how people rely on the hopes and emotional overload of others to sneak in a scam-I hope Santa leaves lady some coal, and YT removes her!
