Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Still looking but afraid of scams Hi, I'm considering and just looking for right now, for another baby. I went on puppyfind.com and saw a pup that was listed in my area(NJ not Nigeria) I sent an e-mail to get more info and below was the response I got. what kind of resonse is this? Re: Regarding T-cup Male Sat, October 3, 2009 9:03:52 AM From:Lisa Rivera <rivera.lisa57@yahoo.com> http://mail.yimg.com/a/i/us/pim/dcli...g/spacer_1.gif Add to ContactsTo: Thanks for the mail. I quite appreciate your proposing in purchasing my puppy.The puppy is currently available forsale,though the puppy is now with me here in Nigeria, because i arrived yesterday to Nigeria, where my church is having a prayer crusade. I have no one to leave the puppy with there in USA, so i have to come down with the puppy down to Nigeria where i am now with the puppy. But the question i am asking you now is, *Do you have a home where my puppy can play around ? *Do you have any other pets and children that will also be close to the puppy ? If so, i will be very glad and happy, because the puppy lovepets and children and will not like to stay alone. The puppy is 12 weeks and the puppy has a current vaccination,vet exams,health certificate and 1year guarantee.The puppy has potty trained,home raise and socialized for tremendious attitude with C.K.C and A.K.C Registered. The total is $400,shipping cost is included. No additional charges.. I will be really happy to have you as a good caring for my puppy only if you can take care of the puppy as your baby.. Actually money is not what matters, but to find a good caring and loving person. If you could be able to take care of my puppy, kindly send your contact details such as... Your full Name,............................................ Address,.......................................... ............... Country,.......................................... ............... City/State,Zipcode,.................................... ....... Phone Number,........................................... ........ Nearest Airport to your home........................... Where will you like the puppy to be delivered (Airport or Home). WHEN DO YOU WANT THE PUPPY TO ARRIVE ? NOW or WHEN. ? Mind you that it will only take few hours for the puppy arrive,since the puppy will be coming with a direct flight. With this i can make arrangement with the shipping agent for shipping preparation. The puppy will be arriving in a couple of hours, because i have already made an arrangement with the shipping company here. So it will be very easy to have the puppy ship once i found a buyer. Let me know if i can count on you as a new Mom or Dad to my puppy. Thanks and God bless you... --- On Sat, 10/3/09, PuppyFind.com <buyer@puppyfind.com> wrote:

| Just wondering why you are not looking HERE? I'm pretty sure the Nigerians are not trying to scam anyone here well at least not today Also, TEACUP big NO! NO! Keep doing your research and take your time. The right puppy will come along and be the love & joy of your life.

| Why don't you look for a reputable breeder in your area? You are from NY, there should be a lot of good breeders around there It is important for you to see the parents and the puppy's living conditions.

| Yikes! My scam antennae went up too! There are great breeders on this site and the best resource is word of mouth. Good luck in your search. |

| SCAM There are several reputable breeders I have noticed on Puppyfind.com, but this one is a scam. I have yet to come across a $200 yorkie that is something you would truly desire. If you are looking for a lower range try an animal shelter. At least there they would have their shots and be spayed and neutered already. |
