Nigeria Scam
 

I received two emails about that Man in Nigeria that was looking for someone to adopt a Yorkie. Well thanks to everyone on here I'm hip to this scam so I responded to one person that sent me the email and She responed back with a really nasty email and of course being the person that I am and not just sitting back I responded back..lol. So everyone feel free to get on this womans nerve and email her with nasty comments just to get on her nerves..lol Start reading from the bottom.






Your stupid because this will get out..I will make sure that there is a website put out about this. Nobody in their right mind knows they can get a freakin Yorkie for $400. Those dogs are too expensive. I will be posting your email address to let everyone know your a scammer. If u want to cancel go right ahead. People will catch on regardless. It aint my fault your ass is poor and you have to scan people for money. BUMB!!

Whoa...was this person on petfinder?

That's the fist time I've seen someone admit that they are scamming... :mad:

I don't know what is going on with this Nigeria thing! They try to scam me too, but in a very different way. They contact me asking if I will send merchandise to them overseas and ask what forms of payment I accept. When I say that I do not ship overseas, they then ask if I will send merchandise to a location in the united states because they have a "customer" that needs to stock their new store with pet items. Clearly a scam! They ask for quotes on huge numbers of strollers and other expensive items I carry and want to know when I can ship them out. I have gotten about 7 of these emails since late November and they always irk me. I think the best thing for everyone is just to not even respond but it is scary because they are out there and they have found your email address somehow :(

Me too!!!

Not only are they admitting to scamming, but they seem to be proud of it. And they also admit they have lots of stolen credit cards. Boy, I think the police should be interested in this!!

I never saw a response from Nigeria like that either. What an attitude! :thumbdown :thumbdown

Good Grief...I cannot bleieve they admitted to a scam...

I can't even remember what site I inquired about a yorkie for them to send me the email but yeah I was like WOW when she actually admitted to scamming. NERVE!

Ridiculous!
 

That is just ridiculous! I suppose I am not suprised though with all the nonsense going on in the world. There are ways to report that you know. I am not aware of the full details, but I believe there are ways to track where emails originated from. I think they may also be able to determine the actual ip address for the computer that sent it out and then locate the computer through it's connection. That is how they find a lot of these losers involved in child pornography and all that garbage. You might concider talking to the police about it. Especially if you have the original emails where they are admitting to having stolen credit cards!!

It's really sad, first you have to worry and research to make sure you aren't buying a puppy from a mill... then you have to worry about if there ever even was a puppy for sale to begin with and if they are trying to rob you or not! :thumbdown

someone tried to scam me the other day. i posted an add for a stud to breed with my girl and this man replied and wanted me to ship my dog to him to breed to his male then he would ship her back. i told him he had to be crazy :mad: now he keeps emailing me with these religous sayings that i'm supposed to pass on :mad:

I swear these people never give up!!!

bump..for new members to read.

Almost Scammed
 

I am looking to purchase a Yorkie. I live in Brooklyn New York. I am going to Charlotte NC next week(and said maybe I would getthe baby there). I went to Domestic Sales.com. Everyone that replied to my emails had the dogs sold & then referred me to someone in Nigeria. I sent them back an email asking them did they think I was a fool :confused: . One of the young ladies sent me an email & directed me to this board. :) . I am really interested in getting a Yorkie. Where can I find a reputable breeder?

Hello KIM :) I'm glad you joined...I'm Sherry , I was the one who e-mailed you... ;)
