| When I was searching for a Yorkie, I came across the "Free Yorkie" mission to Africa story so many times. It seems when you buy a Yorkie, you get the urge to go to Africa on a mission! lol total scam

| they are scammers, they do it with all the expensive breeds of dogs, alot of people fall for it, you just need to be cautious of these "too good to be true" type situations. They are always from someplace and have bad spelling I noticed, I always report them on Kijiji when I see them. |

| Yeah, I had email contact with scum like that last year. Same sob-story: Africa, can't care for the dog because of work, want to find them a good home....blablabla,.....Most likely they don't live anywhere near Africa and don't own any dogs whatsoever. Scum, scum, scum preying on somebody's heartstrings. Shall they rot in hell!
