A response I got: (how obvious is this???? hehe)
Hello,
thanks for your response in regards to my yorkie
puppies. I have one female and one male yorkie which
i am offering to good homes for free this . My
puppies are cute and loving and my advert stipulates,
they love when been cared for and enjoy the
attention of children and other members of the house
where they in.I have already named them and i will
like them to go oto caring homes. i will hope and
wish that they are beem taken great care of by you wen
you finally get them.
I would have loved to keep these puppies but
beacuse of some difficult financial and social
problems i can not do so.i will not like to see this
cuties of mind die because of lack of care and
attention.I am a stay at home mumm and i am only 35
years of age. I saty along side my mother who is
very old and almost inactive as at now, she is
suffereing from some haelth defects that
really
hurt
me. I just lost my teaching job because of a
restructural programme in my region that made me
jobless. As a result i am forced to move to a
smaller apartment where i can not stay along my mum
and theses babies. these is so because she is
epileptic and can not stay with the puppies while i
go round insearch of a new job.The only one who
could take care of the babies was my 7 yea old son
but his Dad has taken him away and not willing to
even let me have accesss to the boy again because
of the problem that seperated us{my husband}My new
apartment is so small to contain my mum, me and the
puppies coupled with the financial problems i am
going through now.
It is because of all this that i have decided
to rehome my babbies and sure i am sure that you
are the right one. My yorkies are 13 weeks of age
and weigh approximately 3.8-4.1 lbs and will grow to
weigh about
5.1-6.3
lbs.they
have a height of about
6-7 inches and are really cute. they come along with
puppy play toys , colthes, feeding menu and a one
year haelth guarantee. the feeding menu will only come
to help you go along side their feeding habbits
easily and also help you get acquaianted witrh the
haelth since it helps direct you on the effects of
in appropraite feeding.
I am not asking money adoption fee for this puppies
since i made the decision to rehome them.. I will only
call upon you to help me out with what ever it may
cost to get the puppies shipped from CAMEROON where i
am located to your own location in the USA. It
is only a five hour flight as the puppies will have
to be shipped by plane, i will do ship to you via
airfrance and the puppies will be
delivered at your
doorstep if you wish or if not you will have
to
collect them from the nearest airport in your location
I hope you are o.k with all this .I will like you
to get back to me with your
full names,conatct
address, telephone number abd the nearest airport to
your location so i can beging to set up shipping to
you.. if interestsed then get back to me so i can send
you pictures of my babies. thanks for your concern and
get back to me. contact me on 011-237-463-3963
I really wish there was a way to inform the public of these scam artists and educate people about this and all scams for that matter. I get sooo angry when people get fooled by this stuff, and feel soo bad for anyone that has been taken advantage of.
