Breeders Beware of a latest Scam

[KristiC]

This is for everyone on yorkie talk but Breeders please read! I had a email a couple of days ago and this lady was wanting one of my puppies and I told her to send me some info about herself I like to know where my little ones are going and of course to keep in touch on time but anyways this lady said that she has a shipping agent do not believe it thank goodness I told her no before anything else happened when I did tell her no she started to cuss me out and saying some very bad things so do not let this happen to you please. The thing that struck me is she would never tell me anything about herself and kept asking for my address so she could send me the money for the dog and the rest would go to the shipping agent so keep your eyes open for these scams and one more think YORKIE TALK IS THE BEST EVER!!!!

Oh my,...... there was a woman in california who had her puppies stolen and the people that stole her puppies first came as "potential buyers" to do "reconosance" (not all at one time, they were very sneaky and went at different times and in varying groups, one woman i guess even had a baby with her to make her appear maternal and trusting) anyways, these people barged into her house and stole all the puppies (fasteddie posted this story too)
We hear about the breeders taking advantage of people all the time..... but we hardly ever hear about the "buyers" taking advantage of teh breeders!!! we live in a scary world!!!

This sounds like a variation on a scam on Ebay. They will send you a money order with a high overage for their "agent" and want you to send on a Western Union Money Order (guaranteed funds) to the "agent". By the time you find out that the money order you were paid with was counterfeit, you are out your 'goods' and a substantial amount of money.

BEWARE!!!

An how about that poor 8 months pregnant breeder of Rat Terriers whose "customer" killed her and then cut out the baby from her womb? That one was just soooooo unbelievable!!! What has this world come to?

Before I got Dean, I did so much hunting and talking ... hate I couldn't wait on one of your pups KristiC -- hope things go better for you and your cute little litter. This site has really shown me how HORRIBLE so-called breeders AND buyers can be. In the event I ever breed, the people are coming to my front doorstep with cash or a USPS money order. I used to work for Certegy (a bad check recovery company) and another warning to breeders: don't take checks. I can't believe people take in these cute babies and pawn them off too! And then that some HUMAN FEMALE can take a child from another women's belly and try to pass it off as hers! Ugh.

And yes, even if the new parents try to hide from the child it's bleak past, he/she will eventually find out -- make's me wanna cry and punch pillows!

Thanks Lucynfred I will be better when I of this is over I cant believe some of these people but I want everyone on the lookout because you never know when you get that first email by the second it should by clear if that person is crazy or not I know anyways. But I always met in a public place when I meet someone and I always want to know a little about that person because I do not let my little babies go unless I feel comfortable about it but thanks everyone for posting for me and as always be careful and safe !!! Thanks Kristi
