| Western Union and anywhere in Africa spells SCAM!!!!! I'm surprised they are asking $1200. Most of the time they are relatively cheap to catch more people. This is what I do to every scammer I come across... OOOh and AHHH over the pup and say that you would like to see pictures of the parents. Of coures they won't have any. Then mention that you or a close friend or family member will be in the area where the puppy is located and to save them the worry of shipping her you can just have her picked up. You will never hear back from them. We need to mess with every scammer out there. They are screwing with our world and they need to learn not to mess with Yorkie people

| I knew this was a scam after the first two sentences - plus - the fact that you had to contact them by E-mail was the first clue. Carol Jean |

| SCAM! I answered one of just for laughs, and the nut wanted me to Western Union him $200 for shipping, and he would give me the dog free, because he lived in Africa, and was suppose to be a Reverend. I went along with it for a while then I emailed him back, and asked if was related to the people who wanted my banking account number, so the Queen of some foreign country could send me lots of money. I also told him if he were a man of God then he should have faith in me, and I'd send him after I received the money. Never heard from him again. |
