| a lot of times you can notice it by the way the language is written out.... this one too: there are gramatical errors and the same phrase "i am very prepared" keeps popping up.... if im not mistaken they can get that info through spyware cant they? |

| scam I've heard of people getting scammed by this before. When I was looking for a yorkie one of those guys emailed me. He said that he wanted the money asap, western union. He really wouldn't even answer all of the questions about the puppy (if one really exists.) Just beware and never western union or use money orders, or cash w/out a receipt or there's no proof! |

| The weird thing is that they don't want the $ until they deliver the puppy. How does that work. You would have to have a puppy in your possession for them to get paid. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Oh, yeah...I've seen variations of those. I even replied to one and told them that I didn't know what kind of scam they were running but to get a life...in not so nice words.
