| You could try contacting a local vet...you will need one anyway...and discussing your situation with them and asking if they would be willing to give you a reference. My vets are very supportive of anyone trying to rescue and would be pleased to help. Never hurts to ask. |

| Oh my goodness ... I just received an response to an email I sent out from a man in Nigeria! I'm so glad I read your post! I probably would have been caught in the same scam! Thanks for telling your story! |

| Nigeria Fraud!! Before purchasing my yorkie I looked into every wa possible to find one. I kept on finding prices that were so cheap, and everytime I would email the ad, I would get some story about how they had to relocate to Nigeria and had to sell the dog, or that they had a friend who is holding the puppies, or even that they sold the puppy, and the person wants to give them up. I believed all of it, until I received an email from 3 different people. They all 3 gave a story that they had to relocate(with their new company name), and needed to sell the puppy. Isn't it funny, all 3 relocated to the same company. I questioned all 3 on this. 2 never replied, and one response was, " oh really, what is their email address, I will go to work tomorrow and see who it is." It was a joke. I did notice that many of the fraud people have Yahoo accounts. This is a good thing to look out for. Just that fact that they mention Nigeria is FRAUD. Second, I would NOT recommend buying a dog from overseas. A tiny little puppy is traveling alone for all of those hours, not able to walk or drink. Who really goes underneath in flight?? Be careful!! |
