| scam? what do you guys think? hey! so i havent posted on here for a long time! sorry ive been sooo busy. but as some of you know, ive had maisy for 2 years & now i am looking for another yorkie. ive been emailing around & looking on websites where i came across this:: maisy was like $1200 so this sounds sorta sketchy cuz the yorkies are so cheap. i first emailed the first person about an add i saw on a FL pet website & she redirected me to this person who is in africa supposedly. heres the emails: Hello, You are a bit late, I just sold the baby you saw on the ads. But you can contact one of my buyers that bought puppies from me .She is Evangelist Monica Gibson, she just contacted me that she is now in west africa for a missionary work and she went there with the two puppies she recently bought from me. According to her,her commitment with God`s work did not give her the needed time she needs to be with the puppies, also the weather there is so harsh on the puppies health and she needed a caring parent who can adopt the babies back to the state asap. Below is her email address, contact her and request for the puppies she need a parent for.She will be very happy if she knows you are from me.I will also tell her about you. Write Evangelist Monica Gibson on her email address: evanmgibson@mail2baptist.com Get back to me when you adopt the Puppies. Regards Hi tina doyle told me about you & your puppies that you bought from her. i was wondering how much you are selling them for, how much they weigh, their age, gender, etc. please let me know. my name is alissa belmont & my email is Lillissy82790@aol.com & i live in FL. thanks!! -----Original Message----- From: Evangelist Monica Gibson <evanmgibson@mail2Baptist.com> To: lillissy82790@aol.com Sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 5:22 am Subject: Re: yorkies Dear Alissa, Thanks for your interest. First of all, I must thank my living Lord that I found an intending parent for my babies, I also give thanks to the breeder that directed you to me. This are the pics of the babies and I`m giving them out for adoption. They are 2 months 2weeks currently and akc registered all their shots are up to date and they are also coming with all their registration papers.They are $300 each shipping included the two are $600.I got relocated to west africa recently and could not take care of the babies anymore. I want a great home for them because they are my real babies. The weather here is not conducive for them that is why I want to get them out as soon as possible and I will be very happy if you will be one to take them as your babies.I have a male and his name is Chapman while the female name is Beauty,they are both very good with kids and love to play alot this is one of their many character, I never wanted to sell them but the weather here in West Africa is not helping matter at all. If you are interested kindly get back to me asap so that the babies can be on their way to their new home as soon as their shipping arrangement is concluded! The puppies are fully AKC registered, up to date on shots and current on vaccination, they will be coming with their registration papers and travel crate. I am attaching their picture.I will always remember you in my daily prayers.I will need your telephone number to enable me call you for shipment arrangement. Thanks and God bless you so what do you guys think?? |

| That has Scam written all over it!!! I hate when these scammer use the Lords' name in vain and try to make it seem legitimate!!! Why aren't you going back to the same breeder you got Maisey from?? I would use a local reputable breeder that you can visit etc....Good luck on your search for your new fur baby!!

| Its a scam for sure but email them and tell them you want them to put a piece of paper in from of the puppy with your name and the date on it and send you the picture first and you want to see the copy of the AKC registration. They wont be able to do either and you will know for sure but all of these scammers use this same story. |

i live in FL & maisy had been shipped to me from iowa. it would be great if i could find a yorkie in FL because it would be so much easier & better to go visit & pick out a yorkie in real life since i cant go to iowa. i found the lady that first told me about the other lady on a FL forum thing, so when i first emailed her, i thought that she lived nearby & i could visit or something, but obviously not. if i dont find a yorkie in FL & decide to buy out of state, i definetly will buy from maisy's breeders. we had no problems with them at all & they are so helpful etc. i still feel bad when i think about how maisy was shaking and so scared when we picked her up from the airport after her flight though, i would rather just find someone in FL thats all. | |

| NO NO NO!! SCAM ALERTS!! Anyone who is out of the country... NO, No. I just ran into a scam last week.. Def. do not send money. Especially if they want it VIA Western Union, that way they can't be traced. |

| Hey Girl! Haven't seen you in forever!!! I think you've already been advised this is a scam. Surely you can find a good pup for a reasonable price in Florida. Keep looking!
