I think this is a scam or someone who doesnt know much about dogs. A nuetered female? But I know some people refer to spaying as nuetering. I emailed them a simple question to see if they reply with the whole cameroon thing. The scammers are getting craftier.

Well the red flag would be the price.
Are the scammers learning to spell and use grammer? LOL
You can not go by the location. To easy to just put what you
want in the ad.
Let us know what you find out when they reply.
Oh and I wonder how they would feel if "WE" all
sent your same email to them. ha ha.
Then we would be scamming them.

Those are all the same points, it really sounds like they are describing a cat rather than a yorkie.

OH MY GOD ... This puppy looks exactly like my baby Katy.

The price doesn't alert me because with the economy going like it is the prices around here are being lowered. But yellow eyes ? I think we all should email this person and ask for their telephone number LOL

I dont think they are learning to spell I think they learned how to use the copy paste buttons on the computer. Not only are they stealing the pictures but the descriptions as well is what it looks like. Although I think they copied and pasted a cat description onto a yorkie and added a few key points of their own like the AKC part.

I dunno, seems like they're getting dumber IMO. Read on...

I read an ad where this person has a bird (forgot what kind but I'm thinking Macaw) for sale and said it was AKC reg , potty trained, UTD on shots, etc.... ROFLMAO ???!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also had one e-mail me introduce them selves as a womens name, but signed off as a man ?!!!!!!!!!! Alright then "Miss"ter !

Another e-mailed me asking about our Bulldog puppies on our website ?? Funny cause the last time I checked, we had Labs !

All scammer or e-mails that seem like scammers, get deleted. I have no time to reply nor play with these people. I do find some of their e-mails quite funny to read though !
