(actual spelling she used) and am in camaroon and said if you just want to pay the shipping of 200.00 ( see she changed her price) than she would ship her right out .WELL. I sat and toyed with her abit and said "well, I dont feel real comfortable having a dog sent all that way on a plane and sending you 200.00 because of all the scams out there. I said they only way I will do this is if you go ahead and send the pup and ill pay for shipping at the airport when I receive her". SHe wrote back and said that she doesnt understand why i dont trust her and blah blah blah. well i tried to email back and she deleated her email so i was thinking "ok, shes gone back into her hole" well at 9:30 last night SHE CALLED and was foreign and I could hardly understand her saying that i was acting like I was wanting her dog and really wasnt and i was funny and she didnt understand...blah blah blah. I go t MAD and told her not to EVER call again and hung up. I was so upset I completely didnt realize that she had my phone number. I NEVER gave it to her...She emailed me t hree times after the call..saying shes a christian and that she cant believe I dont trust her and so forth. Scammers suck and I wish they would all go crawl back under the rock they come from!!!

ive seen loads of ads from people in camaroon selling pups or saying they are giving them away for free and i think all of them are from the same person so i wouldnt touch them with a barge pole.

They all suck!

[cekaai]

That is so creepy the nerve of these people to call you and wonder why you are not falling for their schemes . What is the world coming to?

I look at it this way, there is no such thing as a cheap yorkie. Especially, not a $200 one. If a yorkie is too cheap than something is wrong, whether it's with the yorkie or a scam. Stand clear a way too cheap yorkies and you should be okay.

thats true but there are good honest people out there with situations that we dont know about. I know a girl here in town got a female yorkie (purebred) for 100.00. she is 1 yr old and weighs 4 pounds. The lady that had her had gotten sick and didnt feel like she could give her the love needed so the girl got her. Not all cheaper yorkies have strings attached, you just have to find them. P.S. I called on her when I saw the ad and she was already gone. Was only in the paper for 1 day! The girls is really nice though so thats ok.

Actually as far as getting your phone number -- some people just have far greater searching skills than other people do.

It's amazing - if you have much experience searching on the Internet and you're willing to perservere - what you can find.

Sooooooooooooooo --- I wouldn't worry about her having found your phone number... it's unlikely that she'll want to waste her time or money calling you again. And, if she does, just hang up.

One word to the wise -- when you are dealing with such unscrupulous people as this woman was - I think it's always good to deal with them in a way that doesn't upset or anger them. Just say that you have a couple puppies that you want to check out locally before you make any decisions or something like that. And, then later on, if need be, say that you have already found a Yorkie and have purchased it.

I really don't like "being on the bad side" of people like her. Making her mad or upset might only cause more trouble for you. She sounds pretty resourceful to me.

Good luck! Carol Jean

In any dealings that I have ever done from buying houses to buying tractors. It's those who claim to be Christians that are the biggest frauds. Real Christians don't use their religion as a tool.

So now the minute someone mentions religion, the deal is off.

[JoyRenee]

I wonder how she would have acted if you said you would pick up the puppy at her house in person...

[lisak]

I can't believe the amount of scammers out there. When I was looking for my baby I was shocked by how many were missionaries in Africa. What a bunch of hooey! I feel so lucky to have found Jake from a home breeder who felt the same way about scammers as I did. He says he goes onto Puppyfind.com every once in a while just to mess with all the scammers.
