| YES this is definitely a scam. No ifs, ands, or buts. THIS IS A SCAM email them, and ask for pricing details - all they'll want is shipping money and the pup is free; or a price around $300 |

I agree, but I wouldn't send an e-mail, I wouldn't want some of these scam artists to even have my e-mail address. Some companies will give you money for every legitimate e-mail address you send them, and who knows they could be making money this way too.

| It sounds like scam to me. There are just so many out there. Before I got Fritzel, I would respond to these types of ads and they were always scams. Luckily I never sent any money but I did worry about them having my email address.

| probably stolen photos I bet the photos are beautiful because they were probably stolen off someone's web site. Thats what they generally do, and I highly doubt they even have a yorkie of now much about them, otherwise wouldn't they have mentioned some of her physical points such as silky hair, etc?
