Donating YT 14K Club Member | Yes, there are many scammers out there. It's easy to do on the world wide web. Sorry that you are so disappointed and kudos to Villette. That woman could have easily taken your money and you'd be waiting for a pup that would never come.

| Post up the scammer's e-mail address. In the automotive world, scams are just part of the game. So, in order to deal with it we call out the person directly. Usually there are stickies in the 'for sale' forum to denote anyone being dishonest. Trust me it works, and I have read some cases that reached court! Anway, the first step in preventing others from being scammed is to put the scammer in the spot light. Who knows, maybe someone else got scammed by that very person, and maybe able to get justice. You can even report it to: http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp <--they collaborate with the FBI. MANY nigerian scammers get caught here Be careful people....and always try to use paypal if purchasing, you can always fight it!

| So glad you didn't fall for that one. Some people on this net are just looking for a new scam. They can and do come on this site, read all about us and then come up with their plan. If I don't know what to do, I'll always ask, as my Mom always said there are no stupid questions, if we don't ask we won't learn. I'm sure you will find a new furbaby soon, who knows one just might find you, only it will be for real. Enjoy The Hollidays!

| If these people are getting names from YT then maybe a sticky thread should be posted in the for sale area warning people of this scam. This is not the first time it hasn't happened to a member here. |

| I saw a similar ad - someone in California advertised that he would give his Yorkie free to anyone who would pay for the shipping.......yeah yeah yeah! First of all, I am sure he could give a free Yorkie to someone in his neighborhood or area who wouldn't have had to pay shipping. I should have contacted him and asked where he lived -- saying that I would be happy to drive by and pick up the Yorkie. I'm sure I wouldn't have heard from him. Some people's nerve - I can't believe it. And, unfortunately, some people fall for these things. Carol Jean |

| Ya know my dad taught me a saying...if it's too good to be true it probably is!....in this day and age people get taken because they forget that...it really is a shame and especially at Christmas...the ones that really make my blood boil is scams that target the elderly....
