I Need YT's Opinion If Scam Or Not! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kodak · 06-15-2009, 08:16 PM

One of my co-worker's who has no interest in a yorkie nor has she ever inquired about one received this email. She forwarded it to me because she thought it was a good deal & thought maybe I would know somebody who wanted one. I told her it didn't sound right especially after reading so many scam stories on here and other website. Tell me what you think and if so, I want her to report this man or woman.

He needed to hit spell check for one thing and below are the photo's he sent. They were real tiny to. I have put his responses in red, then she emailed me back at the end of the email.

Hey,
I think you're right about the money scam about this dog thing. He did not respond for more than a week and no phone calls due to his line of work suspect!!!!! Not interested anyway, I was just curious.

scam for sure

erickajm · 06-15-2009, 08:20 PM

I vote.... scam! I don't randomly pick emails to send info to when I have a litter nor does any other breeder that I know. Cute baby.. but I'm sure it is not of a dog this man owns... but I could be wrong (its been known to happen from time to time)

Yep, Scam for sure, like I told her, yorkie's aren't hard to get rid of so why can't he find someone in his local area willing to purchase her.

Her fee is about the same as what shipping would cost so there's no way in hell he's selling her with shipping an all for $300.

Exactly, I told her she was an email that he probably scouts around for and sends tons of these emails. I just hate to know there are people out here that are actually sending him money for the pup.

He's probably making a killing.

SCAM!! Anytime an ad (email) is worded this way, I'll bet my last dollar it's a scam!

You hear all the time these stories about how they were taken. It is sad that someone is cold hearted enough to prey upon someone like that. But unfortunately it happens everyday!

LilMissy · 06-15-2009, 08:54 PM

Total SCAM!

xxmxaxrxyxx · 06-15-2009, 09:19 PM

this is for sure a scam!!!

becky k · 06-15-2009, 09:21 PM

i can bare witness this is a scam as you are reading from a first hand fool who fell for the exact scam. i sent money via money gram and then later got email fom airport she needed a air conditioned crate so i needed to send 5oo.oo more which had nothing to do with the seller it was unforeseen weather and seller had brought her to be shipped and was no longer responsible. i then contacted our airport and they laughed SCAM .also you can almost be for sure its a scam when these people cant spell or speak right .they are usually from africa which is the biggest scam ring around but they dont let you know until they have you send money and it can only be money gram or western union so you cant trace who picks it up.
