| Did you report this ad to petfinder? I am sure they will remove it if you do. They are a wonderful organization.

| I almost fell for one of those scams on another site. It wasn't till the guy told we to Western Union him $200 for airfare to some African country that I realized what was going on. Those people are just awful.

| Very sad indeed!!! When we were first looking for Lacy we found 3 of those very same ads. A person from Cameroon that had a yorkie and wants someone to send money so they can ship the yorkie out to a better place. Right! NOT!!!!!!! Quote:

| Petfinder has many of those ads. 12 different breed pup, all the same age, champion sired, $300-$400 with shipping included. Fake phone numbers etc. There is a write a review area. I always do that and write , scammer. |
