I found this add in my local paper..
 

selling 10 week old female yorkies for $400. I think it is a scam look at the email I got back..

Hello Melissa,
Thanks for the for the interest in my lovely pup. She is still very much available for new home. She is 10 weeks old, She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to date, She is potty trianed. All her papers will accompany her, But right now I am in Africa on a Christain mission with my husband and we have her right here with us, And i hope you are also a good christian that will take very good care of our baby. We are going to ship her to you via Pets Delivery on next day delivery after shippment through a shipping agent, I am leaving her for $400 with the shipping and Handling fee you will be making payment via western union. If you are interested in having her, I want you to get back to me with your full name,address phone number including the nearest airport to you. Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby do not reply me becuase i am only giving her out because we don't have time to take care of her again due to the mission work before us here. Await your response. You can call me on 2348029755000. Thanks and God Bless you

Regards
Barbara

God, grant me this day,
to be loved as I am........Amen

Scam Scam Scam!!

100% scam...its funny because i reply to this ads just to see what these people would say...and they so tell the same story..

these people need to get a life...

Definately :(

Man those scams are EVERYWHERE ! I know people fall for them too. Red flags everywhere - and WV~Yorkies...this IS their life LOL ....Can you imagine if they get 10 people a day to fall for this ? That's FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS of free money -

Red Flags....
- LOW PRICE - (ya...when they go for much more) ??
- Shipping included in the price (not done)
- Payment via Western Union (DO NOT EVER PAY VIA W.U.) you have no recourse.
- Religion (Scammers frequently play on peoples faith)

Total scam,

hubby and I had sooooo much fun with ones of those cameroon scammers while we were looking for Percy. They went on and on about how they wanted a "good Christian home" for the pup, and how they wanted to make sure we were good people and he was getting a good home.

We wrote them back and told them we were members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster,and we were so happy someone would finally sell us a puppy cause no one else would after all those charges were filed, she wrote back and asked for contact info, and we sent her the addy and number of the White House and told her to call and ask for "W" as that was hubbies nickname. She just kept asking for the money. We told her we sent it in gold bouillion to the address she gave us and to wait by the mailbox. The hysterical part was she never caught on and kept writing back.

Definitely a scam 100%

I am so glad I didn't fall for it. It looked fishy right from the start.

when i was looking for my first yorkie, i get alot of those too and so happen they have a middle man from US to do the transaction too. I find it fishy too. I actually got my furbaby from a local breeder in Dallas, TX. We communicated via email and phone then i was comfortable in goin down to TX from NYC and visited the mom and dad of the pup and its siblings. I got him for 450.00. and $80.00 to fly him back with me to NY under my seat.

You really have to go with ur instinct. If it sounds good to be true. Then its a FRAUD. hehehe. Good luck.:)

There is a thread about Scam the scammers... it's really fanny!!!:D Percys_mamma maybe you should join in and tell the whole story... I sure would enjoy reading it...;) :D :p
