| Yorkie wanted Hello everyone. I'm looking for a yorkie but I'm not sure if I should buy from someone one who claims to ship me the puppy right away. This guy is by the name of Chris Fischer. At first he said he lives in California but now claims to be in Nigeria. He gave me both addresses even a phone number. Say's I should view the web page of www.markpuppy.net. Has anyone heard of the guy. Is this a scam? $350.00 for a Teacup Yorkie is not a bad deal. I've got his email too. Thanks to anyone who replies. |

| IT'S A SCAM, SCAM, SCAM Anyone from NIGERIA or AFRICA is a SCAM. $350 for a yorkie is too good to be true and you know what they say, if its too good then it probably is.

| I'm sorry but I wouldn't buy a dog without seeing it in person first. Read all the stories of disappointment from people who picked up their yorkie themselves and feel taken advantage of. I know many people buy with only a photo but it's too easy to send a different dog or even no dog at all. If you can't spare enough time to pick up your dog, how are you going to find the time to give it the proper care and attention? |

| Don't do it. They have the same ads here in charlotte in the newspaper. I know how much you want one, but they don't deliver on the deal. They take your money and you will never see your baby. They run real nice photos to make you believe that they have the best and sometimes they say that they are working for a missionary . There are ads posted in my paper warning people. check out someother areas in the newspaper on line and i bet you will find the same type of ads. good luck on finding your baby , but don't do it this way. |

| That's definitely a scam, there are lots of them out there. Have you checked in the "yorkie for sale or wanted" forum here? Best of luck to you in your search! |
