|  Sounds like a scam to me. Any type of ads that mention being overseas and having to ship automatically raise HUGE red flags for me! |

| Yeah it totally sounds like a scam to me. The price is really low for the dog and shipping and they make you FEEL BAD so that you will definitely want to get the puppy. That's why they say the things they do. BE CAREFUL! |

| I think it's a scam. How does she want you to pay for the puppy? Western Union maybe? How they want you to pay is usually a good way of telling if it's a scam. Money sent to them without any protection or way for you to get it back.

|  Scam!!! It is a scam!! Her language is poor and these scammers are always willing to let their "puppy" go so as long as you promise them a good home and then they proceed to ask for your name and address as where the puppy will be shipped. Total scam, stay far away from them!!

| Where are they supposed to be located? She mentions London and California but if you look at the original ad it's Florida.

|  Yorkie Scammer!!!!!! You have enough good advice, just thought I would report I too had out of country scam. They kept calling so called Yorkie by different names. I blocked e-mail, and now I wish I had played along, to a point just to find out how far they would go and educate myself and others. I just saw a BBB warning of this type scam. At least try and report this as spam,although I am sure they have a boiler room of numerous e-mail. Let YT members know results.

| At only 8 weeks old and weighing in at 1 pound this pup is too young and small to ship anyway. If they are so concerned about this pups well being why would they stick it in cargo when the weather is still so cold? Definitely too many red flags.
