| PLEASE tell me you didn't send them any money! This soooooooo much a scam. This one is easy to spot just by looking at the grammar and misuse of pronouns. These are scammers from another country and they can't get in to trouble here. Run! And if you are truly looking for a puppy go to the yorkies for sale or the rescue forum here on this board. Good luck! |

| Haaaahaaa....This is such a scam job!! When I was searching for Lucky I came across sooo many of these so-called 'great' opprotunities!! And half of them can't even spell Yorkie!! I done so much research on how these scams work and I knew what to look for.....I had my heart broke a couple of times first though. Some people had a puppie promised to me until it was time to get him and then I would find out that there was no puppie...  I found a really nice family and visited their home to see what conditions the pups lived in and thats where I bought my Lucky!! That's why I called him Lucky....I still stay in contact with the family too....she isn't a breeder but her female had puppies and that's why she sold them! She already has 4 Yorkies....beautiful ones too!

| I did not get my Yorkies from a breeder on YorkieTalk but I wish I had! Everyone seems to care about the health and well being of the puppies. When I was looking for my first Yorkie, I received a lot of emails from scammers just like that. I have known other people who also received those same type of emails. I hate to say it or be classified as judgemental but when the grammar is that bad, it has to be a scam.

| Donating Senior Yorkie Talker  |  I came across one like that in the SA express news, I inquired about a puppy about a month ago, and she sent me a picture and a story about having to move to Cameroon and how she is doing volunteer work any way, I inquired again just the other day and this person sent me the same exact story, different name but same exact pic and age of the pups. I reported them to the news paper and commented on their ad that they may be sammers. that is so sad that these people will try to convenience people who are looking for a pet. only to have them be heartbroken. these people who do that need to get a life Carla |

| Yes I noticed the same thing also, they always have to be moving to some remote location that 'don't allow dogs' or They are very sick and cannot 'love them the way they need to be loved' I think they will say whatever they need to for the money and to take advantage of a kind heart! One person even went as far as to say their small son was deathly ill and they couldn't afford the dog....then when I went to look at another site I seen the same pictures that woman posted but under a different name!! The nerve!!

| Not only do these people/person want to steal your $240.00, they also want your personal information so they can steal your identity! I agree, they are not Americans. There are websites where you can trace the header information in an email and see where it originated, free of charge.
