Here is the story in a nutshell~I had been watching an ad that said they would have puppies arriving soon. It showed a nice family in the Chicago area that claimed they were hobby breeders and would have a liter very soon. When I finally called and spoke to the "dad/husband" he told me that they were traveling to MO that weekend to pick up the puppies from a wonderful breeder and would be bringing them back for sale in IL! SCREAMED puppymill to me! I ran and never looked back. If I wouldn't have known better and asked a few key questions I would have fallen for what they were selling. |
Yes it is a scam. I ran into several like these on Kijiji. |
"Raised in the heart of PA" No offense to anyone from PA, but PA has been nicknamed " The Puppymill capital of the East". Along with all of the other questionable statements by this person, I would most defiantly say this is a scam. Good luck finding a reputable breeder and puppy for you :) |
S-c-a-m! |
MAJOR SCAM!! NO reputable breeder would EVER do this! EVER! I've said this so many times...........PLEASE, don't buy on line!! NEVER!! Go to the home, check out the living conditions and look at the parents and all puppies. If they are being kept outside, or in a room where they just go get them and bring them out, then run!! |

Eww!! Here I complain about improper English and look at all of my typos!!! :p I was typing the earlier post from my cell phone!! Sorry! Anyway, best of luck to you! |
ya we decided to try and adopt from a rescue. Only problem is most of the puppies we found that would most be suitable for our family are from rescues that won't ship. Thanks for all the help |
This is definitely a scam. I had a an experience like this before finding Bella. The lady was selling a yorkie really cheap and it was including shipping. She ended up being in a different state and after I told her I could possible go there to pick it up..she supposedly got "relocated". Even when I told her I was interested in the yorkie...I didn't even say I wanted it yet. Well, she wrote me and email saying that the puppy was already at the airport and all I had to do was wire part of the money over to get the fight number and I'll pay the rest to the airport once I get her. This was all a scam. Also, she told the yorkie was a female at first and when the "airport" sent me an email describing what was being sent, it said it was male. She wasn't even following up to her story. So, don't fall for it. You'll find one soon and good luck. |
As everyone else has already said...this is a SCAM. And if you need any proof...just email them and ask if you can see and pickup the puppy in person. They can only pull off this scam with people who need to ship the puppy in. |
Definitely a scam. Wasn't there a "Kijiji" Sponsor Banner at the top of a recent page right under the "YorkieTalk.Com" ? |
sorry but thats a scam for sure, they are trying with apartments now too |

BIG FAT SCAM !!!! :eek: do not give these people $$ for the imaginary/ nonexistent pup they are trying to sell. and that last line....She's the eye ball of our family??? What the he** is that !!????? |
SCAM, The bad use of English is the first sign, They didn't ask you any ?'s. I don't think any loving, responsible Breeder would let their pups go to someone they haven't got to know. This is definatly a SCAM, If it sounds to good to be true, It is!!! Hope you find your real baby to love really soon, Blessings, Baron's Mom |
