| it is because they found out it is a scam. There was one on here just a couple of days ago that said the same thing only different names and the yorkies name was Tina. |

| Anytime you get a message from a stranger offering free dogs, or dogs for adoption or rehoming, it is most likely a scam. The scammers will give an email address to reply to their post. If you Google that email address, you will see a series of offers for free or adoptable dogs, different breeds, made by this same person. Last night I Googled gavin's email address and this person was not only advertising different breeds of dogs, but BABY MONKEYS!!. A few of us got to work and got this person banned. Recently, YT has had threads, and also posts in All Albums from scammers. YT is not exempt from the scammers and spammers. If you receive another message like that, just forward it to admin so they can look into it and handle the person accordingly.

| Seems to be a lot of this going on recently. I had never really heard of it being a big problem on YT up until about a week or so ago.
