Oh absolutely it's not limited to just yorkies. I saw a bunch for malteses too. The scam is so obvious. the puppies are cheap/free, just send shipping money first, then pay balance when puppies arrive. I've never known a seller to be that trusting before.

I did some scams in the pet section on craigslist. In fact I wrote to one of them. But on craigslist, users are able to flag and report a scam and get the ad removed. Users also post to warn others, so the obvioius scam posts don't stay on very long. Puppyfind, knowing that it harbors so many scammers, should have something similiar in place. But instead they continue to collect membership fees from these scammers and do absolutely nothing.
