Breeders Beware - YorkieTalk.com Forums

PrestigeousYT · 02-03-2008, 12:52 PM

I recently came across a situation where someone is scamming breeders by sending them heartbreaking emails about a pup they lost.
And they are wanting to buy their pup but telling them they cannot afford their price because a previous pup that they lost had very high medical bills.

I find this situation to be most upsetting because the people that have been scammed on this persons heartbreaking stories have only sent their pups to this person at a discounted price and in the end this person is only compiling a breeding program of small dogs on a nice budget using the heartbreaking stories.
So breeders please beware of this scammer.
It is sickening to say the least!

So please beware and if you get the big pitty deal of an email trying to make you feel sorry for there loss but yet they can't afford your pup.
Please see the red flags. Many people have fallen for this persons crap and now that beloved home is no more than a breeding program all set up by deceiptful means and that wonderful pet home doesnt exist and they also got a great discount!
Think first about your dog and not this persons heartbreaking story.

wow!that is so sad.but they can't be breeding the dogs registered right? that is so deceitful. I hope justice is served.

That's aweful...people will do anything to get a discounted or free pup

Which is why its against the rule to ask for really cheap or free puppies on YT...people lie just to get a puppy...and honestly if they can't afford to buy a puppy, what are they going to do if the puppy ends up with its own vet bills?

Is this person a YT member sending out these e-mails?

So, we "know" this person, right?

This situation just makes me want to cry. I was really hoping that this was not what was going on. I hope some of those breeders are able to get their dogs back somehow.

Thanks for the post. Hopefully you have spared some Yorkies of this fate by posting this warning
