Anyways, I came across this classified ads http://classifieds.yahoo.com/result....sort=-datesort
and some of them gave their yorkies for FREE you just have to pay the shipping. I reply to couple of them saying that I'm very interested and base on the emails, they are giving the dog for free but have to pay $300 for the shipping, and that I should go to Western Union to transfer the money. Do you think that this is legit and not a scam? Because you know what was weird 2 different people reply to me, and coincidently they are both missionaries, and both in Africa...My husband says that I shouldn't believe such thing that I should go and take a look at the puppies first. Now I'm confused...at first I'm arguing with my husband becaue I truly believe in them because for me no one in their right mind would scam a person using God's name. See so that's why I'm seeking advice from you guys.... If you browse through the site that I've pasted, you could see, 1 of the owner's name is Karen Griffin and the other is Simon Kinberg. Can anyone please give me advice and help me out? Thanks very much!!! |
NO NO NO Don't do it. I have gotten emails too saying they were missionaries and on there way to Africa
I posted looking for a yorkie, this is the same thing I got. It is a sad thing that they have to use these tactics to con people. I know of someone that did that and she sent money for shipping and never got her dog, I haven't read the others postings as I wanted to hurry and get this to you. Keep looking for your yorkie and their are many fine breeders here at YT. Pray for the Lord to lead you to the yorkie you are meant to have, and HE will. Please come back and let us know when that happens and share all the joys you and your hubby will have with it. Your hubby is right, listen to him. If I hear of one I will let you know.
