I've been used in a scam - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lilbumbleybees · 01-12-2006, 04:59 PM

I just have to say this whole situation is just one reason why, after Bounce, I'm so glad I found this site and a wonderful breeder on here to purchase my female from. Knowing that I have a place like this that I can come to, to find reputable breeders who CARE about their babies puts my mind at ease knowing I'm working with good people. There should be a "YorkieTalk" for every breed out there so all doggie lovers can have a place to go for their respective breed to share their joy and love like we do.

What I am really wondering is what sort of show potential pup would be being sold for $200, or any yorkie for that matter!!!

I am so sorry, we need to put a stop to these people. I do have one question.
Are your pictures they are using in our Photo Gallery??? It seems to me a lot of YT furbabies are used in lots of pictuers on the net. We have new members all the time, but they don't post. I think you have to be a member to get in to the Gallery, but I'm not sure. Can it be they are using YT pictures for their scam?
hmmmmm this is so wrong!

when i was looking on the web site you had your pictures on we seen the picture of the same 2 puppys that my mom had sent her money for to ship the puppys and she never got them . then my mom had me email her for puppys and she sent me the same picture. we have plenty of pictures of other puppys that they have stolen from other web sites but yours was the only one that we have been able to connect to the right owner now they have a fraud alert on puppyfind and as you look through their site there are pictures that say right on them beware or stolen picture but that just happen i wrote to puppyfind but they have not gotton back to me they claim to be pastors who have been sent to africa and just need good homes for the puppys there is no limit to what they will say to get you to trust them then they get your money and they never had a puppy to send you . i am out about a 1000.00 i just pray and am doing all i can to stop them they only accept money through western union and i have a list of different emails who are all doing the same thing at least40 or50 different people. they are all through yahoo.com i can't believe how big this is they are making a lot of money frauding people. i have reported them to western union and the person i talked with said he had 3 other people that day alone calling about the same thing its a shame but when i seen those puppys on your site i had to let you know i have pictures of them i printed out to show my friends the puppys i was getting but it was a fraud and i never got them. i have lots more emails if you need them thanks

Passionfruition · 01-12-2006, 05:11 PM

That's crazy!! And those poor people! Oh my gosh I would be soooo mad! What a world we live in that you have to watermark every pic. Geez.

red98vett · 01-12-2006, 05:12 PM

Bless their hearts...those AS$%&$'s are really cleaning up with all those poor people - that is just AWFUL !!

Why oh why do people use Western Union

...that's the fastest way to lose your money in ANY internet transaction !

YorkieShadow · 01-12-2006, 05:14 PM

I was checking out these links and was wondering why when I click on certin ones it says that names have been added to my Favorites and to ok it. ???????????What is that ? Like with the link #2 it says Juli baker has been added to your fav. and #4 says John&amp Susan has been added.and the last link says Shiba Shelly.......Is anyone else getting this when they click on these links?

feminvstr · 01-12-2006, 05:16 PM

ok color me stupid for a minute

but it still doesnt explain how she found me or does it?? those pics havent been on my site for quite sometime except for the montage was on my pic's link on my page but I took that down last night when I was cleaning up the website.

txshopper73 · 01-12-2006, 05:19 PM

When I clicked on the links you provided, all of a sudden I got a pop up that so and so had been added to my favorites. WTF????

As much as you don't want to do it, you will need to put a watermark across your pictures. Sad and boy, I'd be pi$$ed as hell!

I was getting upset.. reading about this

And this was something I was gonna suggest but also to have your name on the pics... when you post. My god.. this is very upsetting
