I just wanted to alert you to NOT download any attachments sent to you via email if you think they are the least bit suspicious. (ie. pics of the pups etc) because the attached file could have a virus embedded in it that once you download the file it goes into your computer and fishes up your personal information. This is how alot of identity theft happens, so please please be careful!

I got curious and found the ad you're talking about. I sent them an email & got the exact same reply as you did this morning. It's a scam.

you are so right, it is a scam. I did not get a reply to the original email I sent regarding the two yorkies, but I did get one on the maltese. Yep, they asked for 200 bucks to ship her from another state. I thought it was a scam, but just in case I wanted to be sure....lol

Pretty sad, I just don't get these people, shame on them.

I was wondering, should we send emails to tulsa world and warn them about what's happeneing, maybe they can put a warning of some kind to alert people to all the different kinds of scams.

I'm actually happy, as I really want a little boy

and if I feel like I'm saving the baby I'll jump and my dh will have yet anther fan

in his club

...lol
