Salbug12 · 04-05-2006, 05:30 AM

These people that are doing this really need to be caught, I was almost one who was willing to send money to a lady who said she was a missionary in Nigeria. You know,,,,it could and has happened to people like me who has never had a puppy and wanted one so bad. I just happened to read a review and realized it was a scam. Thank Goodness I found Cooper. Lets get these Scammers!!!!!

yes that sounds like a scam

Kimbateal · 04-05-2006, 07:04 AM

I was almost scammed by someone claiming they had a Yorkie & after I contacted them-they were in Africa & wanted me to send the money-I sent them an email & asked why would I want to get a Yorkie in Africa-when I can get one here-this person sent a nasty email to me-saying I was prejudice & so on. I had to let them know I am an African American women & that has nothing to do with anything. It was on a site called Domestic Sales.com-luckily a YT'er found me on there & gave me this web site. Since this scam-they also had postings in the Village voice-I contacted the person-they claimed they lived in Queens, NY-of course they were in Africa. I asked why would you post that you are in the US & Queens-they sent me back an email being nasty & threatening to sue me because I called them a scammer. I believe the person you had dealings with was one of the many scammers that contacted me. Imagine how many people get scammed!

First, I don't think we have a David here. Secondly, why would he contact ME...I'm not looking, haven't asked anyone about purchasing pups.

Highlans · 04-05-2006, 08:09 AM

gloriajean · 04-05-2006, 08:18 AM

Yes this is a scam, I lost $900.00 to a scammer using fake Money orders even my bank couldn't tell!!! they cash the darn thing!! I'm making payments to the bank because I was stupid enough to send the scammer back 'HIS MONEY' when he changed his mind. Stupid me get this scammer good!!!

hunniebunnie · 04-05-2006, 08:36 AM

i wonder if there's a good way for us to scam the scammer? it would give them their just desserts.

Ok. I emailed him from CA. Told him I didn't have much money, but wated to know bout the puppies. This is the reply I got! Look like he's doing some serious traveling if he was in CO yesterday and in CA today! He also told TXShopper that he couldn't take care of the pups because of a job. He told me it's because he's too BUSY?!?! I think he's a scumbag!!

The puppies are very friendly and deserves lots of loving and attention. The puppies are 3 months old the yorkies will weigh 4 to 5 lb when grown,i can no longer take care of the puppy because i am very busy ,i will only give out these puppies for adoption to a home or family that can really take good care of the puppies and shower them with the love and attention they deserve.The puppies are here with me in Califonia.

The puppies are vet checked and are uptodate on all shots and are current on vaccination.akc and ckc registered.

WOW! In California, huh???? I'll have to check my e-mail when I get home. I'm sure there's gotta be something from him.

lisatodd · 04-05-2006, 09:06 AM

who knows that's always a possibility. afterall, i tried contacting someone here who posted having yorkie pups for sale. i sent an email with like 6 basic questions like adoption fee, registration, pictures, location, etc. just trying to get the location narrowed down to a city was like pulling teeth. i just get one liner response per email. and only 1/2 my basic questions were remotely answered. i wouldn't go as far as to say this person's a scammer but how reputable this breeder is definitely crossed my mind.

With this particular David person...let's see...in less that 24 hours, the pups have moved from Colorado to California.

yorkshirecrazy · 04-05-2006, 11:20 AM

Sorry I didn't mean To offend you in any way It was just a thought because maybe some people can see that yt members are really Yorkie lovers and see us as Targets. You never know who is who. Sorry again....It was just a thought.

What are you apologizing for? Silly, I'm not offended in ANYWAY! I'm sorry that I made you uncomfortable with my post.

But you're right. Some of these scammers could come here and see our community and then target some of our members. Just keep your peepers open and don't fall for it!
