| Truth Or Guilt Trip Scam??? I received an e-mail from a man saying his 4 yr old daughter recently injured herself at her daycare. He says his daughter Loves Yorkies. And that he would love to purchase her a puppy to ease her pain. He is asking someone to donate one because of his financial hardships due to his daughters injuries. Now one of my first thoughts is that does this man really need a puppy right now with all that is going on? Or is he trying to scam a puppy from someone? What do you think?

| i read all sorts of sob stories on craigslist and personally they all read like a scam. some of them are actually really rude... like they have all these requirements like, must be a tiny, must be a puppy < 12 weeks old, must be purebred, must be akc registered, and anything less is unacceptable. i guess beggers can be choosers eh? in those cases, those people don't need a yorkie, they need a life. we all know how much time and effort is necessary to train and maintain a small puppy. given the time, effort, and money necessary to raise a puppy, if the man has an injuried child at home, the last thing he should be concerned with is finding an expensive puppy to appease his daughter. the child would be better served with his finances dedicated to her care and a stuffed animal to keep her company. the parent should be responsible enough to recognize his priorities, and BE THE PARENT! 'nuff said. |
