Scams I just posted an ad on YATBO - a free ad posting site that came up when I typed in Google "Yorkie Puppies for Sale Barrie Ontario.......I said, and I quote "all these puppy ads are a scam - and you should check your posts, and I hope all these posting ads get what they deserve - JAIL TIME. There were at least 10 posts for different breeds all the same - free or $150. The $150 I answered a few days ago - I knew it was not right - but curious to see what they say. I posted here telling of this scam....and still it goes on.:( |
These scams are all over the place. I wish there was a way to shut them down. |
You're doing a great thing by just posting warnings about the scams, hopefully others will see your post and not fall prey to the ridiculous things people try to rope others into. |
I think I would stay off of YATBO, it says that it's local classified advertising for Beirut, Lebanon. Many countries don't have our laws, and scams are easier to operate. |
So I typed in Barrie, Ontario and got a Beirut site - wow.... |
i do not own a yorkie YET - so i have been researching the breed and looking for the right one. during that time, i have come across SO many scams! there is a huge one going on from people saying they are doing mission work in cameroon and will ship the puppy for $120. they are getting more and more sophisticated - it makes me sick! |

yup! i started typing the email addresses + the word "scam" into google when i would come across a "too good to be true" ad - and that is actually how i found YorkieTalk! there was an email address advertising yorkies in need of homes and someone on this forum had exposed them - this forum came up in google when i typed their email. it IS helping! |
I may be wrong about this, another place says the IP address is located in Houston, United States. :confused: This site is filled with scam ads for YATBO Cameroon Pet animal export scam - Page 33 - Fraudwatchers |
