So I thought I would make a thread about it, so every one on YT will know about the scam. If you get a scam e-mail or hear of one or read one, Post it here. If you can put there e-mail, where there from and all the INFO you can about them... Here is one I got Today : Tim Markland <pethouse20@yahoo.com> wrote: I got your ad in need of a teacup yorkie.I have got one and i will like to give it out to you.I am an American Missionary but presently i am in Mauritious Island for mission work.I will soon leave and go round some countries before finally coming back to my country in the US.I am giving out this teacup yorkie because when i leave for these countries,there will be nobody to take care of it.I will love that you tell me how much you have for it since i am not really selling it.I am actually giving it out to a good home that will take great care of it as i have been doing.If you are interested you can contact me for more information on pictures and more.Waiting to hear from you.

| The sad part is that someone is bound to fall for it. Worse, sometimes its the people who can least spare the money that fall for these scams and lose out on their hard earned money. It is so sad.

| When searching for my puppy I got those ALL the time. Most said they were on a missionary excursion in Nigeria, blah... blah... blah... and that they'd love to keep the pup but the weather there wasn't good for them. I almost fell for it the first time. An AKC Female Yorkie w/full registration, payment w/shipping for less then $600.00. I thought- "Wow! What a great deal!!!" Then I was on another site (that sold puppies) and it said to beware of the scammers claiming they were on a mission in Nigeria. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." |

| Has anyone seen this one???? Peace be unto you, How are you today, hope fine? thanks for your urgent response and interest in taking and creating a good home and care for our babies and i hope their save will be fine with you.My adorable Yorkshire Terrier (puppies) are still very much available for adoption. they are 14weeks old and both home trained and outdoor trained also playful with other animals and kids. The male named (Jessie) weigh 2.5lbs and the female named (Faith) weigh 2lbs and will weigh big when fully grown. they are both A K C registered and shots are given up to date and both home trained. both of them are my darling sweetheart and super spoiled! They both have a sweet personality and loves to play and be carried around. All papers will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our long staying over here in Africa, and the bad weather my Wife and I have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. We are not charging or selling them to you for money but to save their life's saved and care for them so this means that, you and i will be paying for the shipment of the puppies to you. they are VET checked, but right now we are in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife and 3 kids together with Faith and Jessie, we have the puppies right here with us. We are going to ship to you via a Dispatch Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day delivery, if you are really interested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me with the information below: Your full Name: Home Address: Direct contact phone number: name of the nearest Airport to you: Please if you know that you are not capable of taking very good care of my babies, do not reply me because i am giving them out because of bad condition and we're spending months for the Christian mission and i don't Faith and Jessie to die in this bad weather. And because we don't have time to take care of them due to the missionary work before us here. They are priceless to me,therefore i am giving both for free, so i will like you to get back to me with your full name and full address including your nearest airport so that i can find out shipping cost, I want you to know that you and i are paying for the shipping cost of the puppies shipment to you. I've attached the pictures of faith and Jessie. Thanks, Yours In Christ. Rev Harris White. |

| I posted a "wanted puppy" ad on Kijiji and got lots of crap like that... I think they comb over those ads, and that is how they get your info... because at first, I was reading an email I received, which seemed ligit, but I realized later it was a scam, and they contacted me through Kijiji.... So, I guess free classifieds aren't really free when you get spam from every tom, dick and harry |

| Another Creep trying to scam Here's my scammer: I actually wrote back before I came to my senses and was telling him about all the wonderful things I had done with Lily. I asked him if he lived in Hawaii because I have a house there and my sister in law is a flight attendant and flies the Hawaii trip quite frequently. I didn't hear back and began to wonder. A little later I heard from a breeder on this forum who mentioned that she has a section on scammers on her website. In the info it said beware of people offering yorkies for little $ and/or only charge for shipping. Uh Oh! I investigated and this guy has about 13 ads running simultaneously. He's in Africa, Malaysia, CA, HI, TX and who knows where else. Maybe I'll write him tomorrow and tell him that my sister in law is in Hawaii now & I want to send her over to his house to see the puppy. LOL ~~~~~~~His email~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sometimes he is davidmorgan@yahoo.com From: David Welsh [mailto:david.welsh90@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 2:25 AM Subject: Re: Yorkie puppies Thank your interests in my lovely teacup Yorkie puppies.We have three awesome potty trained tiny teacup Yorkie puppies ,they are 13 weeks old and are ready to get to new homes.They are baby Tina, Gucci and Mimi , Mimi and Tina are female puppies while Gucci is a male puppy. We are giving these three babies for free adoption, this is because of the fact that we cannot longer cater for the babies as we did before we relocated from Houston to Honolulu,HI..Also with the nature of our profession and presently with the work we have ,it is practically impossible that we care for these puppies as we have always done.We have therefore decided for this reason to look for great families that will be ready to take care of the puppies and spoil them with much love and care. Our babies have got all their papers and registration,vet records,transfer of ownership papers and shots,all these will be sent along with the babies not leaving out their puppy crate.They are very healthy and will be an ideal at your home.They have been potty trained,love to go out for a walk and take to orders from their parents. All three babies were brought up together as they are siblings and their parents have already been given out to a family for adoption.We will therefore , like to get some assurance that you will be exactly the family we have been looking for so as to get a great care for the babies.I hope you do understand our concern.All the babies are very playful and this could be justified from the fact that they are in good relationship with our cute English bull puppies.I will have some questions which i think will be necessary for me to make a good judgment of the right family for my babies.Have you got any experience catering for puppies and Yorkie puppies particularly? where are you located? And will you be ready to take care of all the needs of the puppies like vaccines and vet checks? will there be enough space for these puppies to play around or have a stroll, all these will help me in making the right decision for a great family,so as soon as i read from you with answers to this then i will let you know exactly what i feel about you getting our any of the puppies.Note that you will be required to pay for the delivery costs which is $325 for each puppy.Please provide us with the following information, Your full names,Home address,contact numbers and the closest airport to your location.As soon as i have these details i will contact the Delivery agency. Remain blessed in the Lord. David |
