It's the second page where you load your pictures. The first picture uploaded is the one they post. When people click to read your post, the other pictures will pop up. I opened a new Yahoo account for puppyfind. I didn't want to get any
unwanted e-mails on mine.
Great Job every one!!! :D :D :D Make sure if you do get e-mails you DON'T open them, as we really don't know who these people are. But I'd bet they know eachother!
Back to burning dinner! I'll be back on later! :D :D :D

i just noticed on puppyfind that either the buyer or the seller need to have an upgraded account in order for the full text of the ad to become visible. (i just posted an ad with kimberley's stolen pics and my ad requires an upgraded account in order to see it). that means, some of these scammers had to pay puppyfind for an upgraded account in order to have their ad visible to non-registered users and registered users with regular account.

which means puppyfind is fully capable of providing the authorities with these scammer's payment information and help provide viable information to track down these scammers but they wash their hands of any responsibility. all they care about is that paying users continue to pay them. SHAME ON THEM!!!!

If anybody wants to and can tell me how to forward without opening, I'll gladly pass them along, but I'm paranoid to open them on my 'puter.

oh and as to the prince...I haven't so much as touched a doorknob or put on or taken off my coat by myself in his presence yet, so, so far so good.
and he cooks!

WHat kind of antispyware do you have first off??? lemme know that, and I'll tell you if you're safe opening that email or not.. unless you've already deleted them...

i wonder if there's any sort of authorities we can write to about this problem?

report em to BBB.... we can see if that helps/works... not sure if you have to be a member with BBB and the business.. but not gonna hurt to try

No I burn dinner just about every night! I'm not a good cook at all. We eat out a lot, but when I do cook, it burns!!! My husband has put up with it for 25 years, so it can't be all that bad!
Waistful did a GREAT job on Princess's picture! I love it. I took it in to be framed, I get it back next week. She's going to paint my sisters cat too. I can't wait to get a picture for her. My sister will be so super surprized! :D

Shame on them is right! They have to know what's going on. Come on now, $200.00 for a AKC Full Breed Pup! $500.00 includes shipping???? They don't even check the ad's, if they did care there wouldn't be so many scams!
It's all about the MONEY!!! How sad!!! :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

humiliating to report, but I am techno illiterate...I'll have to ask my 15 year old what kind it is, I haven't the slightest idea..
I haven't deleted yet, just not opened.

No...this guy was trying to sell a phantom puppy that never existed...using fake photos pirated from someone's website. They poor victim sends the money...flies to pick up the "puppy"...and voila!..no breeder...no puppy!

I sent emails to 4 people. It could be same one. Two are people that Kimberly and Stacy had emailed.

That's strange because it's pics of my friend's yorkies. I have seen them. You should use different pictures. I also noticed that many people are using her pics on puppyfind and it has been considered as scam pics... You need to be very careful. I hope you are not scamming people and taking money for no puppy because if you are doing that, it is a crime. You could be really in deep trouble.

Hi.. The pic is very cute on puppyfind. But the pic is my friend's yorkie picture. I am not sure if you are trying to scam people. It is not moral and I hope you really know what you are doing.
