dont fail to contact me as soon as you get any of the yorkies.
best of luck

Hello Kimberly, i have no problem you adopting my precious babies, but you really have to convince me that you are willing and ready to take proper care of them. and also i want them to be brought up in a true christian home. i shall allow you adopt this puppies on one condition that in 2 weeks time you will send me thier pictures to know if they are well taking care off, well before i set the ball rolling i attach thier pictures for you to see. we have reagan an ruby they are brother and sister of the same litter, then cindy the girl is from seperate litter.
the puppies are very friendly and deserve lots of loving and attention. the puppies are 10 weeks old and are weighing l.5b and would weigh between 5 to 6 lb at maturity, while cindy weighs 2lb at maturity will be 5 to 6lb.though its hard loosing this puppies but i just have to due to my busy schedule here working in chevron company here in nigeria i barely have time for my kids at home let alone the puppies. i will only give out this puppies for adoption to a home or family that can really take good care of the puppies and shower them with the love and attention they deserve. the puppies are vet checked and are uptodate on all shots and are current on vaccination. total cost for the puppy shipping inclusive goes for $350.
shipping includes the puppies certified health certificate,worming record,vaccination record and a starter kit for the puppies and also the puppies toys.so if you are interested you get back to me for shipping and payment information.

Maybe you should send them a link to your site with those pics! I would love to be a fly on the wall when they looked at it. Of course, they will disapear and you would never get anything resolved...

It's amazing to me that ANYONE would send money after reading an email like that... I don't think I need to explain why, lol.

Isn't it amazing what people will do?!? They always try to throw in the words God or Christ. I guess they learned that in scam school. I was caught up in a scam too and the guy used the alias last name "Godson". I toyed around with him too. I figured I may as well have some fun with it and teach him a lesson. He was supposedly going to have someone pick a pup up and deliver it to him in Washington DC (from PA mind you). He wanted to give me a cashiers check for like $2,000 and wanted me to hurry to the bank and cash it so I could pay the delivery person like $1,200 for his delivery fee to Godson. He emailed me and asked if I got the check. I told him yes, that I had cashed it, but that I had a friend who was already going to DC and just had them take the pup with them to the address he had given me. I also added that I gave the excess cash to my friend so she could give it to him because he was paying way too much for such a short distance. Then I acted surprised like "What?!? Did you NOT get the puppy?!???? I haven't heard from my friend since she left with the pup!"

Hello Kimberly, the total cost for adoption and shipping is $350 each but because you are getting both and you have assured me of taking good care of them i will give you both for $600 shipping inclusive.you will have to send the payment via any western union outlets or grocery shops please do not go to the bank or any where because they will remove commission of $20 here in nigeria, but if you go to grocery shop they dont remove anything.so grocery shops is advisable and i accept cash only and not check.for shipping you have to send me your contacts, like your fullname, address,state, city, zipcode, a valid telephone number and the nearest airport to your home, once payment is made and comfirm today i will immediately go to effect on the change of ownership to your own name then first thing tommorow morning i will ask my shipping agent AGU WILLIAM to ship the puppies to you .after shipping i will send you all the flight information and also a tracking number to track the puppies at your airport. send payment to this name and address

Here are the informations
NAME: AGU WILLIAM
ADDRESS: 1045 KING STREET
LAGOS STATE NIGERIA 23401
Please as soon as you make payment try as much as possible to send informations on the receipt for easy pick up. I will also want you to go ahead and shop for the babies toys.

I don't know if you read my post, but the $1,200 was for the "shipping agent". My scam was also from Nigeria. You should send an email saying "I would really love to have these puppies....however, after I buy them I will not have any money left for vet bills. Are they healthy? I will probably keep them if they are."

Now NO PERSON would sell to someone who would write something like that! See what she says. I am sure she will assure you that the pups are healthy and still want to "sell" them to you. IDIOTS!!!!!!

LOL! You Go Get Em!

Those Poor ficticious puppies.

Nice work Julz...I always hope the few minutes we spend yanking back on their chain keeps them from scamming the next guy.
There is a site you can report these creeps to,but it never seems to do any good, they just whip up the next fake addy and start over.
Puppyfind should be more vigilant in their advertising and post scam information the way it is done on many other 'for sale' sites.
