| Puppy scam alert!!! I don't know if anyone has seen these yet, but I was browsing classified ads on the net, (not looking for puppy , just wanted to see what scams are going on now) and I found some of these FREE YORKIES!! (yeah right) and sent a request for pics. (I was in the mood for messing with one of these scammers today!! hahaha, ) Anyway this is one of the ads: http://minneapolis.backpage.com/buys...s%20for%20sale A response I got: (how obvious is this???? hehe) Hello, thanks for your response in regards to my yorkie puppies. I have one female and one male yorkie which i am offering to good homes for free this . My puppies are cute and loving and my advert stipulates, they love when been cared for and enjoy the attention of children and other members of the house where they in.I have already named them and i will like them to go oto caring homes. i will hope and wish that they are beem taken great care of by you wen you finally get them. I would have loved to keep these puppies but beacuse of some difficult financial and social problems i can not do so.i will not like to see this cuties of mind die because of lack of care and attention.I am a stay at home mumm and i am only 35 years of age. I saty along side my mother who is very old and almost inactive as at now, she is suffereing from some haelth defects that really hurt me. I just lost my teaching job because of a restructural programme in my region that made me jobless. As a result i am forced to move to a smaller apartment where i can not stay along my mum and theses babies. these is so because she is epileptic and can not stay with the puppies while i go round insearch of a new job.The only one who could take care of the babies was my 7 yea old son but his Dad has taken him away and not willing to even let me have accesss to the boy again because of the problem that seperated us{my husband}My new apartment is so small to contain my mum, me and the puppies coupled with the financial problems i am going through now. It is because of all this that i have decided to rehome my babbies and sure i am sure that you are the right one. My yorkies are 13 weeks of age and weigh approximately 3.8-4.1 lbs and will grow to weigh about 5.1-6.3 lbs.they have a height of about 6-7 inches and are really cute. they come along with puppy play toys , colthes, feeding menu and a one year haelth guarantee. the feeding menu will only come to help you go along side their feeding habbits easily and also help you get acquaianted witrh the haelth since it helps direct you on the effects of in appropraite feeding. I am not asking money adoption fee for this puppies since i made the decision to rehome them.. I will only call upon you to help me out with what ever it may cost to get the puppies shipped from CAMEROON where i am located to your own location in the USA. It is only a five hour flight as the puppies will have to be shipped by plane, i will do ship to you via airfrance and the puppies will be delivered at your doorstep if you wish or if not you will have to collect them from the nearest airport in your location I hope you are o.k with all this .I will like you to get back to me with your full names,conatct address, telephone number abd the nearest airport to your location so i can beging to set up shipping to you.. if interestsed then get back to me so i can send you pictures of my babies. thanks for your concern and get back to me. contact me on 011-237-463-3963 I really wish there was a way to inform the public of these scam artists and educate people about this and all scams for that matter. I get sooo angry when people get fooled by this stuff, and feel soo bad for anyone that has been taken advantage of.
