It sounds moronic to us, but they scam MILLIONS of dollars each year from unsuspecting "stupid" Americans. That's what they call us. It's not just dogs, but so many other things. Like...I only have a check for $5000, you take $3000, and just give me cash for the other $2000. Then you lose out cuz the check is fake!!!!

You mean I'm not getting the millions for helping them out?

Tell them you have GREAT news! You will be going to North Carolina on business and you'd like to meet them and pick up the Yorkie b/c you're not too hip on having him shipped!

He is a "Reverend" and it sounds like a sob story to me. If it were a Reverend, he would be a 'Good Samaritan' and give it away to someone for free to the nearest family member or rescue shelter, don't you think?

Talking about the Lord and saying he's a Reverend is a BIG sign. Also, when they want to sell you their pup ASAP and ship to the nearest airport, yada yada, that's a sign too!
