When I was searching I called a local ad with pic. Searching that night I found the SAME pic listed with someone else. I called the local one and she said she would look into this. I e-mailed the breeder and he said the same thing and insisted it was his pup. I was going to go see the pup but decided I didn't want to even get involved.

I couldn't agree more. You DO have to be very careful, there are scams everywhere these days. I was just being devil's advocate.

Now this is quite fishy. It's starting to look like a scam... but you have to pick the dog up in person

I'm on the fence on this one. I'm curious as to why she can't keep the pug?

eep..... almost 14 hours. I'm not sure a trip like that is feasible for me in the next few weeks, much less days!

Yikes, that's quite the drive!!

trini&coco · 01-30-2007, 09:41 AM

Sounds too good to be true to me.

Maybe it's just a kid playing a few games/pranks on us. I wouldn't get my hopes up!!

Anyway, it's better if it weren't true. Hopefully nobody would leave their Yorkies like worthless baggage...

CO_yorkie_momma · 01-30-2007, 09:46 AM

Well that is the good thing about YT. So many members all over the world so people can always go check them out to be for sure and let others here know before they get scammed.

I did a search and there is no ClarksFEID,OH. There are 2 ClarksFIELD, OH though which are both over an hour from Norton, OH.

When I Googled Clarksfeid,OH the city with the misspelled or made up name, I got the following:

I couldn't find the original posts on Petfinder though, just the Google search. Maybe someone would have better luck? In any event, I think it's a scam.

kimmyfur5 · 01-30-2007, 10:01 AM

When I first read the ad, I checked mapquest to see how far away they are, there is 2 Norton's in Ohio, one is north of Canton and the other is in Delaware County by Columbus, not sure which one it is.

Ms. Porkchop · 01-30-2007, 10:04 AM

Sorry, that's what I meant to say, just typing too fast...There are 2 cities named Norton, and not 2 Clarksfield.

They did say no shipping.. so I highly doubt it's a scam.. Let me know.. we'll take some of the dogs home

(I'd take them all.. but bf would probable kill me

)

She said 45 mins west of Cleveland, so I am thinking its closer to Akron, not Columbus...

Thanks!! I finally got a yorkie last fall, just always at work and no time to post anything at home. Barely have time to read posts, I have to get into work early to do that. Hope this isn't a scam but if so, live and learn........

rrosenberry · 01-30-2007, 10:19 AM

Sounds pretty strange... but I'm curious to know what happens.

45 minutes WEST of Cleveland?? Wouldn't that be Sandusky??? I grew up in Lorain which is 25 minutes WEST of Cleveland.

furby2000 · 01-30-2007, 10:23 AM

Sounds quite fishy but... then theres the no shipping...
