| Internet SCAMS I was searching for a new pet to replace my dog. I found an add for a Yorkie for adoption. They scamer offers to send you a yorkie free if you pay the the cargo fees. The ad indicates the ower is near you. They put the annuncement in a local classified page on the net. After you request the pet they tell you they are in Spain, or Nigeria or Cameroon and that you have to pay for the shipping and then they will send the pet. They never give you their address or phone number! The can't send a photo of the dog with them in the picture or today's edition of the newspaper. They want to send someone to your house to collect the money and THEN send the dog! BEWARE. Last edited by neilmcq; 01-18-2008 at 04:39 AM. Reason: typos |
