 Yorkies Adoption ??? Scam ???? I am really worried. A week ago I received an email from a lady ?? Cathy Cole ?? email address ( adoptionplace@gmail.com) asking if I am interested in adopting yorkies. I was totally amazed. I am in South Africa and she says she is a USA based foundation. The one yorkie is a teacup yorkie and the other one a normal size. She even send me some nice pictures., which looks like perfect pictures. The names of the attached photograhs are skittles.jpg and pretty.jpg. Beautiful. I then asked how will I get them to me and she replied that she will ship them. It will cost me $350 each shipment included. USA is such a big country why wouldn't anybody want to have such nice little yorkies there. Why does she need to ship them to me in SA ?? PLEASE BE AWARE because I think this is a scam !! If anybody does know anything about this or that it is not a scam, please let me know. If you want to follow up on this I can try and send you the photographs and or emails.:confused: |

 Hi Ina, sounds like a scam. How on earth do these people get your email and know you have Yorkies:mad:  How are things in Richards Bay? I will be on the North Coast next June/July for a week or so, maybe we could meet up? I wll have my babies with me. |

 I am also based in SA and when I was initially looking for a Yorkie, I was also approached by a women in America.  She advised that she would fly the pup from America, all cost included for 3 000 dollars.  When I asked her about quarantine issues etc, she advised there would be no issues. I assumed it was a scam and never proceeded any further. |

 Sorry to "kill this thread" buy hey - Wow - three of us from S.A on the same thread:p  Don't you just love this place, I am so addicted. Maybe we should get hold of everyone and have our own Meet-up? There is a lady in Kroonstad on here too. Then we need to get Lauren in California to fly out for a reunion. |

 Final descision Yes  I think we are all very sure that we have to be on the lookout for these people. The person that contacted me was cathy Cole email address adoptionplace@gmail.com. Be aware !!!. Back on the Sunny South Africa theme !!! Or shall I quote --- Braaivleis, Rugby, sunny skies and ..... ...... . Have to say that I can sense the blood still pumping for ur home country. Hope u will come to visit and also that we that are still living here will enjoying what we have. Hope u all have a nice life with ur Yorkies and families.:) |

 I literary had a tear in my eye on ur behalf. I was just thinking why dont you treat ur Yankee pals on a proper braaivleis. Although I dont know if they would at first enjoy it like us SAfricans.Some of the tastes u have to get use to.But I mean with all the real boerewors and biltong and rusks or caramel boerebrood, mieliepap etc. I will even offer to send you the recipies to on how to make it yourself. Are you a person who would try the baking and or cooking thing ? Let me know ! Lovies Ina from sunny SA.:star: |
