I Love My Babies Donating Member | Hopefully, no one gets taken by it. Thanks for affirming what I thought. Hugs to all of you. Can they be punished or jailed for this? Bobbi

| They usually claim their 8 week old yorkies are house broken and "lovely" and good with children. I have yet to ever see an 8 week old housebroken dog. They are always missionaires in Africa.

| I heard the EXACT SAME STORY when trying to find an affordable place to live for my boyfriend and I. He responded to an ad for a 2bed2bath condo, and I to an add for a 3bed 2.5 bath townhouse. The prices seemed super cheap compared to everything we have seen here in the OC. We both used our own e-mail accounts but got the exact same response. Which, matches your story.
