| Tty Relay Scams Have you ever listed a puppy for sale and someone calls you from a tty relay??? That is a scam !!!!! If you ever get a TTY call the person will say they want you to send them info to their email and they will say that they are located here in the states.. Well when I said I had family where they were they hung up SO BEWARE OF TTY SCAMS I have had MORE than 16 tty relay calls

| I have received 3 of these. They say they are from all over the states (the first was Utah), they are always in a hurry, and they are sending more money than is necessary and you are to give the excess to their agent who is handling the transfer. I emailed a bit with the first one before telling him no but have ignored the rest of them. I don't know exactly what they are up to but I don't trust them. My mentor has forbid me to do any more advertising through the newspaper anyway.

| I don't co-own with my mentor, I learn from her. Alot of YTCA members frown on using the newspaper to advertise because it leaves you open to this sort of thing. It is Suzie's goal for me to be a member of this prestigeous club so she's having me watch my p's and q's. She only has mine and my dog's best interests at heart. She in turn has mentors who have been doing this for over 40 years. You have to be willing to give a little to get and I'm just so appreciative that these ladies who know so much and have worked so hard are willing to invest some of their precious time and energy in me.

| EEK!!!!!! I got one of those calls a couple of months ago!!! I thought they were legit until they called me at 1 am and wanted to talk AGAIN about my dogs. They said they were from Surprise, which is about 2 hours from me. I never called then back and they never called me again either. Cant believe the methods of scammers these days!! |
