Can you say...SCAM ALERT! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

erickajm · 06-20-2008, 05:50 PM

I just wrote her...sounds like the scam is in Cameroon!

erickajm · 06-20-2008, 05:57 PM

ok..finally the answer comes...Cameroon is located in...South Africa!
So I am writing Davis back...what do you think so far?

Well, I suppose if this were legit I would want them. However, knowing that this is one big fat scam..I think I will pass...and just to let you know. I have reported you and your friend...Calista Madeline....We dumb Americans are catching on.....
But I think before I send this one I am going to let him know that Calista is offering to send me two and she is paying for everything.

erickajm · 06-20-2008, 06:01 PM

ok...I guess I will end this with them....I am letting them know that they have been reported...what creeps!

erickajm · 06-20-2008, 06:11 PM

My last message to Calista and Davis:

Mocking? No....I asked how do I know this isn't a scam? See...some of us Americans are as dumb as you think we are...I am a true Yorkie breeder and lover....you are a scammer. Someone who preys on innocent people who would love to have a breed like a Yorkie and can't afford it so will easily fall to scum like yourself and your friend, Davis Scarole...yes, your both trying your best to come off as American over in Africa doing this or that...however, problem is you scammers are stupid enough to pick professions that first off would use proper grammer and secondly would at least know how to spell.

Your ads have all been flagged for removal and you both have been reported! I hope your sorry asses rot!

Sincerely,

One Smart American

Do you think they will respond?

I did one like this recently. Here is my email to them:

Okay...let me guess.

You are on a mission. Probably Africa. The weather is not good for the Yorkies. You are giving them away. All that one needs to do is send you the money for shipment via western union or moneygram or the like.

Then, you need the name and address of the person who is getting the puppy. You will ship them right away. All you care about is that the puppy will be in a loving home and well taken care of.

Have I got it right?

The reply:

Oh what a joke.you got it perfectly right my Dear.....
Stay Well

These people are ridiculous and there idiots. Good Job all of you for reporting them.

Mayas Mommy · 06-20-2008, 11:27 PM

..... wow .... they get rude for telling the truth ..... whatever .....

Where do you guys find all them scams online ???

KimberlySRN · 06-21-2008, 12:54 AM

Most yorkies that i have seen advertised on Craigslist are scams. They had a special on TV a few months back, it actually showed the people doing this. They said most are located in Africa because their is no way for us to prosecute them. Out of the jurisdiction of the US. So sad.

maxmom · 06-21-2008, 05:35 AM

Good morning, I did not have time to read the complete thread since we have our vet apointment this morning, if you check back, during this past week, there was also a post on YT of a lady with I believe two boys and a girl or the other way around,also from Cameroon, when I asked for pic's she did not reply. Please be careful.I'll log in again once we get back.

I am selling on ebay right now and I was wondering how you got scammed. I am a little worried now

isaruss52 · 06-21-2008, 11:38 AM

I found a yorkie adv. in St. Louis which is only 3 hrs away from me. It was a scam but they must have had someone from Indiana working with them. I sent part of the money to indiana but never got the dog. I was sooooo upset. Several months later (after considerable research) I found a breeder about 1 1/2 hrs away. I went and fell in love with my baby Cena. An elderly couple had 17 boys and only 2 girls with their last litters. They had a sale on the males for one day only. I went and bought my love and have never been seperated since. He nursed me through the third month on from back surgery never leaving my side. He is a wonderful companion. He is "natural sized" and has my heart. I am thankful now that I did not get the other puppy, I was hurt that someone would do that to someone but I have the baby that I was meant to have. Since then, I had neck surgery and my husband has had thorasic back surgery and Cena has taken really good care of both of us when needed. I think the people who scammed me with get what they deserve, maybe not from me but they will have to answer for it sometime.
