Before purchasing my yorkie I looked into every wa possible to find one. I kept on finding prices that were so cheap, and everytime I would email the ad, I would get some story about how they had to relocate to Nigeria and had to sell the dog, or that they had a friend who is holding the puppies, or even that they sold the puppy, and the person wants to give them up. I believed all of it, until I received an email from 3 different people. They all 3 gave a story that they had to relocate(with their new company name), and needed to sell the puppy. Isn't it funny, all 3 relocated to the same company. I questioned all 3 on this. 2 never replied, and one response was, " oh really, what is their email address, I will go to work tomorrow and see who it is." It was a joke. I did notice that many of the fraud people have Yahoo accounts. This is a good thing to look out for. Just that fact that they mention Nigeria is FRAUD. Second, I would NOT recommend buying a dog from overseas. A tiny little puppy is traveling alone for all of those hours, not able to walk or drink. Who really goes underneath in flight?? Be careful!!
