| You wouldn't believe this scam on puppyfind OK... daily I go on puppyfing to look at puppies. I just have some kind of obsession with see cute little puppies... Well I went on puppyfind a min. ago and you wouldn't believe what I found. (1) person has placed 34 free yorkie puppies adds. That's just in NC. If you select Yorkie and then go to location and do North Carolina someone has put 34 adds.... That's just disgusting. I tried to put a comment on there so I could put SSSCCCAAAMMM so no one would fall for it, but you have to upgrade your account.... So if anyone reads this that has an account please look e this up and put scam in the comment section so no one gets ripped off..... Thanks Crystal |

| I know its bad. There was someone on here last night that I think was scamed replying to an ad on puppyfind. She put money down and is expecting to get a puppy on Saturday. I am hoping I am wrong but the puppy was only 400 with shipping in that. Sounds like a scam to me.

| Yea I know there is scams on there all the time but I just thought this was crazy. Listing puppies for FREE. Hopefully that will be enough to throw people off so they know something is wrong. |

| Before I got my two girls... The place I was looking for a puppy was puppyfind... This was just in Oct. and Nov. 05.. and I don't remember seeing so many scams. I remember there being maybe one or two but otherwise it was real people selling real puppies and I like that they were in my state so I could go and visit the puppies... Now I go on there just fo fun to look at the different puppies around in my area but now there is more scams on there than there is real dogs.... It's really not even fun anymore to go and look at the puppies...and that's all I do while I'm sitting at work all day |

| I wouldn't use puppy find anymore because of all these scams. But preciously I did purchase a female chocolate lab for my mother-in-law from a breeder that I found on puppy find. What I did was have a friend who lived close to the breeder go to her home and check it out, check out the pups and the mom and dad dog. Everything worked out great in my case. I'm still friends with Margaret (the breeder). My mother-in-law is thinking of getting a second lab but a black female lab this time. If she wants another one, we are going to get it from Margaret -- she only breeds black and chocolate labs. She has 1 female and 1 male in each color. She isn't a high scale breeder. She only breeders 2 females once a year. I'm glad I found her and didn't get scammed. But I would not use puppy find again because I wouldn't want to risk getting ripped off. There are just way too many scammers out there. By the way, the only reason I used puppy find in the first place is because my in-laws live in Idaho and there are no breeders close to where they live. Also, the dog was a surprise gift because my mother-in-law had been wanting one for YEARS literally but never found one at the local animal shelter where she lives. So I bought her the lab as an anniversary present for her.

is not. I have never said this before but with an audience of over 7000 people wouldn't it be a perfect place to pull a little something on us. I would say 99% here are honest but in all our dealings we need to be very careful and I would advise not to rush into anything when it comes to buying a yorkie. JMHO PUPPYFIND is a NO NO

| Puppyfind is the worst, but then again I do enjoy signing on and posting my red bull with Kim's stolen pictures
