Hi all yorkie friends-

BEWARE! I answered an ad on Mercattel Ad site for sopposedly 2 yorkies in Iowa -free to good home. Person said he was with the St.Thomas Seminary. In fact that was the address at Yahoo. I was polite and said I would take the dogs and when he and his wife came back-I would foster them and then the could have them back if they liked. I said beings you are in Iowa-I would come and pick them up. He emailed me that air flight would take about 11 hours. I then asked thought you were in Iowa-no reply. Then I emailed and asked if this was a scam for airfare money and no dogs.
He sent me a very nasty languaged email. I emailed back "and you are in a seminary?"

No reply back as yet.

So, Ladies and Gents === Beware

Donna in Iowa
