I wrote to her. It didn't say flagged when I looked, which was earlier. I'll let you know if I get a response.

THIS IS THE REPLY I GOT FROM THE POST

Greetings to you from the house of the lord,

How are you today, hope fine? thanks for your urgent response and
interest in taking and creating a good home and care for our babies
and i hope their save will be fine with you. My adorable Yorkshire
Terrier (puppies) are still very much available for adoption. they are
14weeks old, the male named (cahced) weigh 2lbs and the female named
(Terra) weigh 2.5lbs and will weigh big when fully grown. they are
both A K C registered and shots are given up to date. both of them are
my darling sweetheart and super spoiled! They both have a sweet
personality and loves to play and be Carried around. I want you to
know that i and my family(my wife and 3 kids are on a missionary trip
to west africa)along with the 2 Yorkshire Terrier Puppies.So later on
we notice that the weather here in africa is very very bad for the
puppies to sustain here with us on the missionary trip.So my wife and
I decided to ask one of our friend in the state to help us put the
advert of the newspaper that we are looking for someone to adopt our
babies to the state back.I am very glad that you are willing to take
care of them and provide them a good and wonderfull home.

All papers will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our
long staying over here in africa, and the bad weather my Wife and I
have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. We are not
charging or selling them to you for money but to save thier lifes
saved and care for them so this means that, you and i will be paying
for the shipment of the puppies to you. they are VET checked, but
right now we are in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife and 3
kids together with Terra and Cached, we have the puppies right here
with us.

We are going to ship to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company
with Express Delivery on next day delivery, if you are really
interested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me
with the below information of yours.

Your Full Name :
Your Mailing Address:
Your Tel #:
Your Cel Phone #:
The Nearest Airport To You:

Provide me with the above details of yours to proceed in the shippment
of the puppies to you.Please if you know that you are not capable of
taking very good care of my babies, do not reply me because i am
giving them out because of bad condition and we're spending months for
the christain mission and i don't Terra and Cached to die in this bad
weather. And because we don't have time to take care of them due to
the missionary work before us here. They are priceless to
me,therefore i am giving both for free, so i will like you to get back
to me with your full name and full address including your nearest
airport so that i can find out shipping cost, I want you to know that
you and i are paying for the shipping cost.The shipping company is
just 5-10mins drive.

So i will want you to email me now to know if you are ready to take
the babies from us and give them a good home and also i want you to
know that you and i will be sharing the shippment fare of the puppies
back to you in the state as soon as i find out the cost.

Thanks and God bless you,
slarry john

Almost word for word- this is the same type of scammer that almost got me when I was looking for a yorkie pup. What bothers me the most is that these people try to pretend to be christian missionaries to fool people that they are honest- this REALLY gets under my skin. Very shameful!!!!!

If you email them back, they will ask you to do a moneygram via Western Union for the cost of shipping the puppy to the states. UUUGGHHH. These people really make me angry!

stovesj · 08-05-2008, 11:55 AM

Definitely a scam!!!

LongHornMomma · 08-05-2008, 11:59 AM

LOL... you should email them back saying you are just finishing up a mission in West Africa and are returning to the States this weekend. Ask to meet them and pick up the puppies so you can bring them on the plane with you.

Jakey123 · 08-05-2008, 12:09 PM

SCAAAAM. I played a scammer like that that wanted to give me alot of money lol. He actually sent me a check hahaha. I contacted FBI. Of cpurse they never replied so I just threw the check out lol. They don't have puppies, and theyre not in africa either, theyre in the US sitting at their computer preying on people with too kind hearts.

Yorkiekids · 08-05-2008, 12:19 PM

Scam. I got the same one, and it came down to them wanting me to send them money for transportation. Same story it's too hot, and their in Africa.

It probably was a scam anyway.

Just because it was flagged doesnt mean it was a scam. people get on craigslist and if they don't like a ad they see they flag it and it get removed. My mom had a neighbor that really was trying to find a good home for her teacups on craigslist. since she was adopting them out for free she kept getting flagged. Not everyone is out to scam.There are ppl out there just trying to find homes for their babies

yeah its a scam here's the e-mail he sent me. Africa??!! please!

I would NEVER give my personal information to someone who does not even want to give me their phone number. If he was interested in giving them away, he would want to speak to me. At least if I was giving Sammy away and it was far at least I would wantto speak to the person on the phone. And WHa is "Express Delivery Sevice?" DHS? UPS? etc..

Sorry I didn't see that post up there!

mscat · 08-05-2008, 12:49 PM

Yes, it is a total SCAM .The sad thing about it is that people fall for it!

That is why it keeps popping up!

mrlmonroe · 08-05-2008, 12:54 PM

Jerks! Everyone MAY not be a scam, but this is seriously a SCAM of the worst kind!! I get so annoyed with this.......grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sookie · 08-05-2008, 01:42 PM

I got the same email.

TyraandMrJ · 08-05-2008, 02:05 PM

Same email to me as well word for word. ugh I hate people sometime.
