Hey all...

So I am thinking of getting a 2nd Yorkie and have been browsing craigslist in the Detroit area and emailed a post which said they had 2 puppies ready to go, w/ AKC papers blah blah. Look at what I got back!! I know many of you have seen these before, but I NEVER thought one would come so close to me!! HOLY CRAP!! UGH, made me SO ANGRY!!!:mad:

Their reponse:

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
18weeks old and both home trained and outdoor trained also playful
with other animals and kids. The male named (Nana) weigh 2lbs and
the female named (Siffy) weigh 2.5lbs and will weigh big when fully
grown. they are both A K C registered and shots are given up to date
and both home trained. both of them are my darling sweetheart and
super spoiled! They both have a sweet personality and loves to play
and be carried around.
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 their life's
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 Nana and Siffy, 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 your full Name , Home Address, direct contact phone number and
name of the nearest Airport 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 christian mission and i don't want Nana and Siffy
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 of the puppies
shipment to you.
Thanks,
Paul Smith

No thanks this is a scam and never email me again. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to con people out of their money and to use gods name to commit sin and a crime! Shame on you and everyone that is involved in your scam!
