I was very grateful for having the scammers info. posted on my ad. The very first reply I got about my ad was more than likely a scammer. At first seemed normal and was asking if I still had the pup for sale. I replied yes, and the next e-mail I received was from a completely different e-mail referring to payment and shipping info. asking for all of my personal information and promising payment for the pup and shipping costs. (Mind you my ad specifically said pick-up only.) That sent up a red flag for me, so I replied and stated that it was a pick-up only and if he wanted to continue with this arrangement that we would write up a contract of expected duties to be carried out by each party securing that the deal went through successfully. I told him with the contract written up, he would need to send all funds and they would have to clear prior to shipment of the pup. Needless to say, there was no reply after that. Your first instinct is almost always right, and if you receive replies like this, don't fall for it. I enjoyed e-mailing him back to let him know I KNEW what was going on. I hope this helps anyone.  |
Do you still have the e-mail senders name or address? They tried it with me as well, good advice! |

It really gets to me sometimes, seeing people in all these DG's writing about "spammers" - like they were some kinda kiddie cartoon characters throwing marsh mellows at people.
They are shiftless, lazy-arsed, THIEVES, robbers, every much so as some s**t stain sticking a gun in your face.
They do not need to be "artfully dodged" - they need to be removed from the human gene pool! There, now I feel better  |

I replied to a "free" Yorkie ad. And I was advised that the couple were in Africa on a Church Mission and had to bring the pup with and for $199 shipping fee would send me the beautiful precious pup! Yeah! And I will keep it next to my unicorn! The e-mail is Sandra Want.
I now see another free AKC yorki.
This looks just like another scam! |

I replied to the same one and was told they were in the UK and that it would cost me $250. plus $100. for Shipping from the UK and that I would get him in one day. I sounded fishy to me also and so I think we have a scam on our hands I would never send money to anyone that didn't have a way I could check on them so... guess KiJiJi needs to check them out. I do have an email from them of- kovonfields@yahoo.com is that the same one you have from them?

No this e-mail was from a Sandra Want who wanted only $199 to ship a fully registered, utd on all shots teacup Yorkie that they had to bring with on their church mission from Chicago! They just wanted "Demi" to have a wonderful home ...like mine!
The ad ran 2 days,and now there is another "free teacup" yorkie add. The pix look so familiar and I wish I could recall the website to let the original owners know that their yorkie pix are being ripped off and used for fraud! |

Hello
Nice to read from you Regarding my puppies.i am having Two puppies.one female and one male and are 13 weeks old . they are currently weighing 4.3 pounds & 4.7 pounds respectively , mum is 9.9 and dad is 11.7 pounds and their expected weight as adults is 8.9-9.8 pounds.They have gotten their shots,have been on a heart worm prevention and wormed. They are well socialized with wonderful great personalities.i just want new homes where They will be spoiled more than here as they will be a great addition to any family.This little girl and boy every heart of any home will desire.They come along with health documents, AKC registration papers,travel crates
with toys and a year guarantee including a hand book on how to raise puppies.i will like to ask you some question??
-Where are you located?
-Will you take proper care of my babies?
-Are you use to puppies or pets?
-Do you have a vet that you will take the puppies to if needed be?
-Will you send me pictures of the puppies when you have them?
-Will be able to pay the shipping cost of $120
Your answers will be of grate necessity. I am from Britain and just relocated to Cameroon with my kids for a vacation and the reason why i am giving these puppies out is because we have to move to a lot of different places here to to have new experiences and the climatic condition here will not permit the puppies to enjoy the vacation with us. so i am looking for a loving home urgently because we are going to be here for 4 months. so hope you will be the one to provide the puppies with this home . waiting to read back from you.
God Bless You |
