Yes that is definetly a scam! Did i read that right, 6-11 hours for delivery! There are some sickos in this world!

ugh ugh and ugh!

I'm not very good at this...
 

I'm reading the same letter as you guys but I don't see "signs" of a scam.

Can someone explain it to me please?

Well, first of all, I haven't e-mailed ANYONE asking about pups. How this person got my e-mail addy is beyond me...and YORKIES at that. But, now that I think about it, refresh my memory anyone...isn't David the one that had yorkies for $300??? You send him the money and then don't receive a dog?

Ahhh...that would semi explain it. Anything else?

it reaks of a scam!!! the next email you get will probably say "david" is in nigeria or camaroon, awaiting your western union code.

:p Almost sounds like the "Nigerian" scam except he didn't mention that his had been "NutriCal'd"!! Geez ... do these people think we are stupid, or what?? He kinda sounded like someone who knows you and is pulling your leg!! ;)

these scam emails always have weird grammatical errors. not just typos like we all do but just weirdness.

it's a very common scam. the seller says he has a puppy for sale. can't keep it anymore because he's off doing missionary work at some faraway country usually nigeria or camaroon. will sell for really cheap or free, so long as you pay for shipping and wire the money to him via western union. if you fall for the scam and wire the money, you'll never hear from him again.

another common scam is when the scammer poses as a buyer. they want to buy something you have for sale. sends you a money order, then tells you oh, i've changed my mind, since you've already deposited the money order, go ahead and write him a check to refund the money. you refund his money, then find out the money order he sent is a fake.

hmmm...maybe I'll play along and inquire about these pups! :cool:

MISTAKE!!!! The e-mail was sent to TeresaWhitt but yet, I received a copy of it...almost like I was blind copied. :confused: Really weird!!!!! Anyway, here's what I sent him...

Hello, David. I don't know how I got the e-mail you sent since it was to someone named Teresa Whitt but I am interested. I would like more info on the females that you have listed. How much are you asking for them and where are you located? I ask because I want to know how long it is going to take for the pups to get here.

Oohhh...this is going to be FUN! :D :D :D

UGH< UGH<UGH.......UGH!

I think you should inquire and see how far they are willing to take this scam....

Go for it!! I just received an email for one of my puppies that has been sold months ago. Wanting all the usual that scammers want.

OOOOH I wanna know what happens! Keep up posted ..

Don't worry...I will! ;)

You might add, that if you live close enough could you just come and pick them up.LOL

ohhh! this sounds good! lets teach this scammer a lesson! everyone e-mail him about the puppies! ask lots of questions! we'll be the YT Super Gang or something like that! lets see how he will respond to lots of emails!

Here is his e-mail addy... daviddoyles@yahoo.com

Its a classic case...

There are others if you do a search on YT, but check out these two threads. It all started with someone hijacking pictures from Yorkiepassion's website. They're long, but enlightening and humorous.

Yuppers...that they were!

David,

Where in Colorado are you? I have a friend that lives in Colorado and owes me a favor and could actually come and pick the puppy up and I can get it from him this summer.



You stated CKC...is this Canadian Kennel Club or Continental Kennel Club.



What kind of health guarantee are you offering? Does this include any genetics?

And am offering them for $600,Due to new job,i no longer have much time to spend with the lovely puppies,so thats the main reason why i want to send them to a lovely home were they would be shown love and given attention.I live in colorado.And i dont know how soon you want the puppy.


David.

omg, he put "due to my new job". is he obvious or what?

Tell him that your friend would like to come and see the puppies before you send any money. Then he'll say that he lives in Colorodo, but the puppies are elsewhere. Man, I love these threads! These people mess with the wrong YTers! LOL

I read the thread you enclosed. I wandered on to yorkiepassion's website and "accidentally" filled out an adoption questioniare. :D :D :D

I sent him an e-mail. asking to know where he is so I can come and see the pups and pick one out. We will see if he responds

Haha! I dont blame you..her babies are absolutely gorgeous!!

omg some nut must be on our ut site!

I've been waiting till someone else messed with one of these people. It's just to funny to hear their responses......

Right now the person actually sounds like they know what their talking about... It's funny how when you get off their trained things to say is when they start messing up.... Like getting nutracaled. LOL
