I saw this Yorkie ad today. 1 Attachment(s) wondering if its a scam. because shes only $200. and shes so cute. I did email them to see just what they say. but havent heard back from them yet. It reads. "SOUTHERN PRINCESS" SUPER TINY, SUPER BEAUTIFUL YORKIE, SHORT LEGS. SUPERIOR GOLD AND BLACK COLORING. PETITE AND SMALL PURSE YORKIE BABIE TO TAKE EVERYWHERE WITH YOU. SHE IS A SPECTACULAR LITTLE GIRL |
I saw one on Craigslist here in Pa. They were from Cameroon!! I thought it was a scam the price was too low. The english was perfect though and that's usually one of the RED Flags!! Be Careful...:confused: |
If it sounds to good to be true... |
I will I emailed them for my sister. well see. I wont fall for any thing, read to much on here about scams. but I do know once in a great while one might be true. they say they are in the next town from my sister. so well see. |
1 Attachment(s) Hum I was looking to see if they had any more ads out in the next town over from that one and I found one. different dogs name same background almost looks like the same pup but this one has the ears up. still waiting to hear back from them. this one reads. PRINCESS STEPHANIE" SIMPLY ELEGANT YORKIE! SUPER GORGEOUS, VERY TINY FEMALE PURSE PUPPY. SHE IS JUST SUPER GORGEOUS, VERY LOVABLE AND PLAYFUL, VERY KISSY AND SWEET! SMALL COMPACT BODY, SHORT LEGS, SHE HAS THE MOST GORGEOUS BABYDOLL FACE AND IS ANOTHER ONE IN A MILLION LITTLE GIRL. PARENTS ARE TINY ALSO. |
Sounds like a "scam". At least they did not say "Teacup"! |
did u check to see how long those ads have been run there.... maybe one was an earlier ad and the other a newer one with the ears up...but i would be skeptical ...already too many questionables.. |

:thumbdown Looks like a super scam! Keep us updated please :rolleyes: |
If the pup is from overseas, you can't use the cost of the pup as a measure of it being "too cheap" because of exchange rates. I paid R4500 for Puddin, which is actually a little high for around here...but that translates to $450US. If the pup is not from overseas and the price is very low, there could be other factors at play...like the dog isn't AKC registerable. This is not to say that there aren't scams out there...there most definitely are! But don't be too quick to dismiss an ad as a scam until you've done a little digging. I can get you AKC registerable Yorkie pups for $500US or less (plus you pay the airline charges and for the crate) from South Africa (The Kennel Union of Southern Africa is a full federated member of the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI), has reciprocal agreements with bodies such as The Kennel Club, London, the American Kennel Club ...), so these deals from overseas CAN be legit! |
Like I told my sister she will be lucky if they even email her back. No its not over seas it states it right in her home town. they also have the other ad in the town next to her. but like I said it could be someone playing games and found somones elses pictures maybe and are just out playing games. she knows what to look out for. but she was a lucky one and found her other baby many years ago for 200 and shes been very healthy. so you never really know. never hurts to email and ask. but ill keep you all updated. |
Cameroon Okay in my puppy search I had a woman say that she was going to ship a yorkie from Cameroon as well. This is a bold faced lie. Any time someone is trying to do business and posts an ad in America but is in Africa there is obviously something wrong. Please don't get scamed, all right? Buy local. And if you can't do that call the person and talk to them directly. If it sounds funny... it usually is. |
I'm sorry, it IS a scam. If they write back, they'll probably have some sort of song and dance about how they're missionaries just sent to Africa (you said Cameroon, but it could have been Sierra Leone or Nigeria, too) and that "this just isn't a good place" for the baby. So they're willing to send her back to the States to a good home. Ex-CUUUUUUse me, but how would they know if you're a "good home" or a stinking puppy mill? Then they'll add air freight from XYZ airport to the airport closest to your home. Send them the money and they'll send you the puppy. RIIIIIIght! Not gonna happen. Do you have any idea of the paperwork Customs would want, let alone Ag? It's an adoreable puppy. For your sake, I wish it was true. But then, if it was, *I'd* be after her, too ;):D I'm sorry ... |
Well it could be a scam, but I don't know. I bought my yorkie for $125 just had to drive 3 hrs each way to get him. But he's perfectly healthy and the breeder was extremely nice and caring and the place was clean and it wasn't a puppy mill at all. Although my puppy is larger than most yorkies (6 lbs at 3 1/2 months) which is why he was being sold at a discounted rate. |
