Yorkie Puppy Adoption Scam!!!!!!

[afool]

Do not reply to an e-mail from Susan Berkly, susana007@skim.com. She posts ads claiming to have moved to Cameroon due to her husband being transfered with an airline company. She fears for her yorkies health and wants to get the puppy out of Cameroon as quickly as possible. She will tell you that all you have to pay is the customs fee $100. You will send the money to a person claiming to be the manager of Camairpets Pet Heealth Care and Custom Department, Achiri Ngu (camairpets@yahoo.com). They will give you the info to send Moneygram or Western union. Once you have sent the money, they will tell you that you puppy will be going out on some imaginary flight, and then, they will tell you the puppy has a lay over in Charles De Gaulle International Airport, Paris, France. Once there, they will notify you and tell you that Air France will be taking over from this point on. Someone from Air France Paris will contact you, air_francepetspassport@yahoo.com, and tell you that you need to pay a $300 refundable insurance fee. They will want you to send the cash up front by Western Union or Money Gram once again. DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!!! No company should ever ask you for cash up front on something like that. Every airline carries its own insurance policy. You do not have to pay for it, and if you do, it will not cost that much and it will be optional. The two different companies had the same style e-mail also. Just the logos were different. Air France will try to convince you they are legit and get offended when you deny their validity. The lady, Susan Berkly, will try to make you feel guilty by telling you that she would never do such a scam, that they are "God-fearing" people, that she trusted you to take good care of the puppy, and so on. Eventually, the e-mails will stop. I did not think anything of this scam until they asked for a refundable insurance fee in cash upfront. I had my other puppy shipped, and know that is not how it works. I hope this e-mail helps someone and prevents any further scamming by these people. Remember, if this sounds like your scenario, but not the same names, it probably is still a scam!!!!

Thanks for your story, because there are several adds placed in various newspapers via the Internet stating that they are missionaries in Africa and currently do not have time for their puppy or there is an issue with the climate. I noticed that one potential seller was suppose to be in Africa, but we were in the same time zone. Also, the funds were to be wired via Western Union to Lagos, Nigeria, but I had no knowledge of the carrier or contact with the representative who was suppose to be handling everything. I have received three responses to from individuals that are doing Missionary work in Africa with Yorkie puppies that are 6-12 weeks old, however, the new owner will only be responsible for shipping. I find this very ironic and unfortunately, it is all a scam, so buyers please beware!

[Anny]

The same thing happened to me 2 days ago! Today, I was doing some background work on the "missionary". Most people you can google their name and soemthing comes up. This is a lady claiming to be a missionary in Africa. Her name is Amanda Brut. I'm so glad I found these postings! Last night I sent her an email telling her that I would take care of the shipping arangements to avoid a 3rd party, if she could get the dog to the local airport. She has not replied. Before I offered this suggestion, she was quick to send pics of a 10 week old Yorkie that she calls Timi, and reply to other emails. I'm a cautious person, but I do have a huge heart for animals - so I was trying to validate her story. Again, thank you for sharing! You saved me money and heartache!

[Beware Yorkie Scam]

I am a 19 year old college student wanting a Yorkie. I was contacted by a Jones White claiming to have a Yorkie Puppy, that he needed to give up because the conditions in Cameroon and the food was not acceptable for the little puppy and he felt that the puppy would die if he did not give it away to a new home. I corresponded with him for a few days and he said that I would be a good owner for the Yorkie. Being young and inexperienced I believed him. They talked as if they were very concerned about the puppy. I was then told that I needed to send 100.00 Thru Western Union or Money Gram to register the puppy in my name. They asked me what name I wanted on the paperwork. I sent the money to a Fru Emmanuel in 410 Staurt Place, Donala, Littoral. Phone Number: 00237-9905706. I sent them the money. I then recieved conformation from Cameroon Airlines web site : (camairlinespets@mail.com) about the puppy's take off status. The puppy was suppose to be sent to France. In France, the Air France airlines (airfrancepetsinsurance@yahoo.com) the puppy then needed Insurance Papers and I needed to send 200.00 and that would be refunded to me. I sent them 200.00 thru Money Gram. To a Lun Ernestine at the same address. After after a few days I still had not recieved the puppy. They claimed that the weather was bad and the puppy could not be shipped out. They said that they needed 250.00 to rent a special crate for the puppies storage, 3000.00 to buy the crate, or I could buy one and send it to them. I checked the weather in France and the weather was perfect for travel. I contacted them and they said that I needed to send the money because if I did not, the puppy would have to either be terminated, sent to a pound, or sent to a zoo. I contacted Jones White (joneswhite@yahoo.com) and they seemed concerned and even offered to send 100.00 for the puppies crate and I will have to send the rest. They kept on appoligizing and seemed concerned about the puppy. I asked them why the puppy did not need a crate from Cameroon to France, but now needed a crate. I did not hear from Jones White for about one week, she emailed me asking me if I recieved the puppy yet. She claimed that her son just died and she was not able to email me about the puppy. I told her no and that this was a scam. I told her that I would sue her and she would be hearing from my lawyer. I did not hear from her for another week and I got a email from (pets.deliverman@easyla) from a Brandon Jones. He said that he has my puppy and it is in Miami Fl. and that he would deliver it to my doorstep for more money. I told him that I lived close to Miami and offered to pick up the puppy myself (I knew it was a scam) I questioned him about the spelling mistakes just as Jones White and he argued saying that he was a professional God fearing businessman. I asked him if he was a professional then why does he not know how to spell. I never heard from them again. If you are looking for a dog, DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY WITHOUT GETTING A DOG FIRST!!!

[tracycof]

Same thing! i also received a mail from joneswhite@yahoo.com !

[Unregistered3232]

omg there is this person from cameroon claiming she is from colorado!
she has a chinese accent and she send me a picture of ehrself with her dog and she looks american!
she says she is a nurse and her husband is a surgeon.
she is selling a perfect condtion yorkie for $180!
this is her email do not believ this liar!

louisamaltese(something else i forgot)@yahoo.com

[memesu]

I can not believe this!!! In my little hometown newspaper(it only comes out once a week). There was an ad for a yorkie along with an email address: brad_jackson112@yahoo.com My family especially my young daughter has been wanting a yorkie for Mommy forever. I emailed Brad-guess what he is a minister in West Africa. Claimed to be working with the Christ Embassy and could not take care of his "baby". I told him we are very intersted and even praised him for doing his missionary work! I researched Christ Embassy. They are real. I asked for pictures and got the sweetest ones back. We had plans to Western Union the money on Monday. When I was looking at yorkies in general online I discovered the news of the scam. My daughter is going to be heartbroken-me too. Why are people so mean? I am wondering how many others emailed Pastor Brad. I plan on talking to the Sheriff tomorrow to at least warn others. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hello Anny,
do you think you could send these pictures to me so i can see if they are identical to pictures i recieved from someone claiming to send a yorkie from cameroon? email address is <please do not post personal emails>

[Nyla]

You won't need to see the pictures. Anyone claiming to export animals from Cameroon is a scammer. We've got a very extensive thread on such scams here

http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2458&highlight=cameroon+pet

and it's our understanding that export limitations on animals pretty much preclude anyone being able to legally sell animals from Cameroon.

[Godiva4]

Thank's to this site I didnt become a victim of this obvious scam. It looked to good to be true so I did some research only to discover that it is to good to be true! Seem's to me these scammer's post in every state in the USA, use a yahoo address, and advertise at estia.com. Most ads for adoption seem to be very similar and some ads actually post the same picture for a different ad.
Here is the response I received when inquiring about their prices on birds and egg's.

The same thing happened to me, and I ALMOST bought it. The yorkie she claims to be "giving up" because she cant care for it it timi, and she also sent me pictures. Her new partner is Bunmi Wellenton. The only reason I picked up on the red flag was because they both used similar styles of speech. I bet they are one in the same. BEWARE!! Thanks to everyone who took time to post a response. This saved me 280$ and a whole lot of heartache.

[Crystal]

I WAS SCAMMED!!!!!!!!!!! $400 dollars later and I have been waiting for my "puppy" for over a year!! Don't do it!! I am telling you, don't make the same mistake. Don't buy a puppy unless you see it or actually speak to the breeder. If I were you I would go local. Just so that you see the email I received and hopefully it can help you out, but I don't recommend doing it. Soon after I was scammed, I saw on Dateline, that Nigeria is the # 1 scamming country in the world. This is actually a business that they run for all sorts of things.

see my emails below that i received:

AND THEN I GOT THIS EMAIL.

Hello Crystal,
Thanks for geting back to me with your shipping information.I just call the shipping agency manager now about the payment, he said you should send it through western union money transfer, that is secretary will cash it. This the information you need in sending it.

RECEIVER'S NAME: JOHN WILLIAMS

CITY: IKEJA

STATE: LAGOS
COUNTRY:NIGERIA

You will have to mail me the information which you use to send the money, such as

SENDER'S NAME
ADDRESS
TEXT Q
TEXT ANS
TRACKING NUMBER(MTCN)

So that i can give it to the secetary to cash it immediately, because the manager told me once his secretary confirms the payment the puppy will be ship in two working days.
Thanks hope to read back from you very soon

AND THEN I GOT THIS EMAIL.


Hello Crystal,
The money has been confirmed,the shipping fees have been paid to the airline for immediate shipment of the baby.Meanwhile,a slight problem occured at the airport this morning.The baby are held by the Custom and they said the baby will have to be registered with them Quarantine free and also the Custom Licence and Clearance will have to be issued so that the baby will not be Quarantined for six month when she get to the state.I talked to the Custom Manager inorder to finalize the whole thing so as to get the baby can be shipped immediately and they said it will cost $350 to obtain the Custom Licence and Clearance as well as the Quarantine fee.I have looked around for help and no one seems to be in a better position to help me with some amount of money not untill i went to my pastor who could only afford to give me $230.I have also deposited the $230 with the Custom as part of the payment and i decided to notify you so you can help with the balance of $120 so i can get back to the airport immediately.The baby is still at the airport waiting to be shipped to her new home and the custom told me that the baby will be released for shipment once the fees are being paid.Please,i want you to get back to me as soon as you can with the balance of the Custom fees so i can get the babies on the next flight.I will be waiting to read from you
asap.

UNFORTUNATELY, after completing the steps that I needed to, I never heard again after several emails I sent to this person.

GoodLuck in your search and be careful.

Crystal

[Miss Naive]

I wish I had found this web site a few days ago. About a week ago, I been receiving and sending emails from a woman who stated she had a yorkie to give away because she could not keep it. I told her I would take it, she replied back she would need $110.00 for shipment and adoption fees, of course the address was in Cameroon. I stupidly sent her the money and contact information. My son wanted a puppy and I believed the lady. Now, she states the puppy is in government custody and needs more money for a deposit on a crate due to the climate conditions for the puppy to be shipped in. I will not be sending her money, but someone keeps calling me from a 237 area code. I feel so stupid for believing her story. I had even asked her if this was a scam, she stated I could trust her. Yeah right!!

This was one scam posted by Ceser Cara....

Hello Thanks for the mail,
My puppies are well trained, Registered,House broken,potty trained
and love the companion of grown ups,kids and house hold
pets.Well, I will like to ask you the following questions.Then get
back to me as soon as you can with answers and questions if you have any:.
-Have you ever lived with a yorkie puppy before or any other puppy?
-do you have an acre of land, or again where they can always play around?
-Are you aware of the love and attention that yorkies need?
-is every one in your home fully committed to the adoption of a new pet?
-what about if you know any good vet in your area?
-Where exactly are you located?
the reason i wanna give them out for adoption is because, i am a volunteer and since my daughter passed away,i don't find it easy to keep the puppies and continue my job since my job warrants me to travel more often than not, so i wan striving towards closing the animal farm that my daughter left before she passes away. So all our pets are up for adoption now, you can see pictures and more on our website www.elen.iifree.net. Right now we are presently on a Volunteer mission for the W.H.O for the fight against Malaria Parasite on pregnant Women in a small Country Called Cameroon. We decided to Volunteer and work with W.H.O is our priority for now since we loved helping Sick people. I am from Bellflower California.My duty here is tight up, that is why i even regret bringing the babies over with me since we got this job and moved with them to Cameroon i hardly spent adequate time loving and caring for them. I am really disturbed since love and concern is what they where spoiled rotten with my daughter when she was alive. Hence i have decided to give them out to any loving and caring home(s) out there which will show them lots of love and concern and care properly for them. All you need to do to get them is simply paying their transportation fees to your location, and you will have to email to let me know how they are doing and equally send me pictures of the puppies at your home once every month. If you agree to accomplish all these, then i will be very ready to give them out to you,and they will be coming with some playing toys,health guarantee,crate,papers and even with food menu. I will be waiting to read back from you. I will very much give out these puppies for free adoption as soon as possible in order to also reduce my work load.
Waiting on your humble response.

This one was good....Used the sympathy card of his daughters death.

hello
thanks for your mail
below are the pictures of my yorkie puppy She is 7weeks of age and has a spunky personality.Meet delicate, precious, feisty, curious, little micro T-cup Saffrron. I know I know, those adjectives are not usually used in the same sentence. However they best describe our little "diva" Saffron. She truly is oh soooo tiny and delicate, yet she has a "larger than life" personality. Saffron has a feisty, "stand her ground" attitude to get her toy or your attention. No doubt Saffron will melt hearts where ever she goes. Her stunning appearance will be the first to be noticed and then her whimsical feisty attitude will be the clincher. You will simply sit back and laugh at her funny shenanigans! Saffron is a pure bred Yorkshire terrier, registered nationally with the prestigious AKC-American Kennel Club. She weighs only 2/3 of a lb. at almost 8 weeks of age.References available.
Please email or call for more information. Shipping is additional. We
take great pride in providing you with a healthy well-socialized
puppy. and $100 including shipping hand line and delivery charges from Cameroon where am located if okay mail me back to me so that i can tell you the next step

Thanks

I responded again for more info but haven't heard anything back.

BEWARE!!!

[GoColts]

I sent them an email in response to an ad in our local paper. As soon as she replied it just sounded too fishy so I googled it and found this page. I notified our paper and they removed the add from the internet. You can't trust anyone these days.

[LydSmith]

I received about a dozen e-mails today from a gentleman claiming to be Rev. Robin Peter from Nigeria. He said he, his wife and 3 children are in Nigeria on missionary. They brought with them 2 small Yorkie puppies and they are afraid they will die in the heat. He is looking for someone to adopt them. He said he can pay $350 of the total $950 for shipping the puppies. He ask me to send $600 via Western Union. I told him I could not do that. I said I didn't have $600. So he said he and his wife will go $250. So I should take the $250 to Western Union. He called me on the phone about 4 times but I could not understand him so I asked him to hang up and email me. His phone is 2348025877316 and 2348060002250. I would love to have 2 baby Yorkies, but I am not giving anyone any money with no dogs in sight! What a jerk!!

Here is the email: (they could have made it a little less chessy!)

After a while i notice that the weather hear is not good for the puppy and i have not been able to take care of her the way i do because of my pastoral job.

Re: $120, Female Teacup Yorkie Puppy For Adoption Now!

Once I had sent the money something didnt feel right so I searched up $120 yorkie and the scam came up I read some and called and canceled but here is the guys sick emails and info. I say sick because he used his "daughter" saying she had been killed in a car crash to get me to send the money.

The same thing happened with my husband and I just this week. We had been in negotiations with someone by the name of Temy Moore who when I googled her is also selling puppies in London so beware there. It all seemed fine until the Dog "Nanny" called us at 4:53 in the morning to ask us to send the money via Money Gram ASAP. Not only did they call way too early, they also raised the price from $100 to $200. The following is the conversation that followed...
ok,then would do register the puppy for tuesday.the delivery company would contact you and give you the flight tracking number,the depature and arrival time on tuesday when you can get to the airport for pickup.you would also have to pay for the shipping once they contact you.keep us informed about everything going on with the delivery company.thanks

ok,she will be coming along with her pedigree certificate, health certificate
and some extras like the welcome kit which contains
Pet Taxi, Water Dish combo, cupcake collar, bows,
outfits, Food for easy transition in her new home
and as well as with her new family. as to the foods she
eats, we mostly feed her with some dry special
food(she will be coming along with some,since its her
favorite) which helps to keep her teeth clean due to
the abrasion when she eats.

Thanks everyone for your posts!! If my story can help anyone like yours did then I feel we did our duty!!!

[patsfan81]

After answering an ad in my local paper for Yorkie Puppies for adoption, I received the following email. Below it you will find the response I got today after showing interest in the puppies. Thank goodness the "red flags" jumped out at me and I was able to soon realize the scam that was taking place!





hello ,

Thanks for your interest in my yorkies and I am so glad you emailed in response to the ad. I want you to know that I really appreciate your response.My husband and I are currently on missionary work to london and we're visiting 5 other european countries! I hope you are having a nice weekend? God bless you.

I am giving this puppies out for adoption and I owe you many thanks for caring and asking about them.Right now the reason am giving them out is that our job is to demanding so as a result of that,we wont be able to take care of them well.so we have been praying to have someone who can take good care of them and give them all the love in the world. That's all they want. We're due for more travel to some remote part of europe and I cannot risk taking them along as I know it will have adverse effect on them, health wise. I would be attaching their pictures, please let me know when you receive it. Can you tell me alittle bit more about you? Do you have pets? children?

The little girl (sassy) is 1.9lbs and while the male (frodo) weighs 2lbs,both are 10 weeks old they should be to 3 to 4lb range full grown,they are potty trained and very friendly with children they fit in the palm of your hand.They're lovely puppies will come along with all necessary health paper work and Vet Record,Birth Certificate,Shot Book,Travel Crate,Toys And Foods.

We are going to ship my babies to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day delivery, if you are really interested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me with your full Name , Home Address, direct contact phone number and name of the nearest Airport to you. Please if you know that you are not capable of taking very good care of my babies, do not reply me because i am giving them out because of my demanding job and we're spending months for the christain mission, And because we don't have time to take care of them due to the missionary work before us here. They are priceless to me,therefore i am giving both for free, so i will like you to get back to me with your full name and full address including your nearest airport so that i can find out shipping cost.

Thanks again for your love and care for our adorable babies! I will be looking forward to your response.

Thank you and Remain Blessed,

Sarah johnson

Thanks to this site, which saves my hope, time and money! I was really hurt by these scams and their "pretentious" care for animals.

Here's the story of my experience... On June 19th, 2008 I answered an teacup Yorkie adoptiona ad on www.puppiessale.org. I emailed this persan named Dalene with the email dalene_bill707@yahoo.com and she said she will give up her Yorkie for adoption if I agree to keep in touch and update her with the puppy's pics and news. I agreed to it and she's asking for $90 for the flight cost. She sounds exactly like the other scam artist who I discovered (thanks to this site). Please see our email script below:

I didnt pay anything to no one yet but I'm writing to warn all people out there to beware and please buy puppies at your own risk! Be very careful as there are many online scammers use a escrow service when you buy and sell. Never wire funds via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other wire service -- anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.

[candice12]

Has anyone been scammed lately by a Jason Prestley? He claims to have 2 female & 3 male puppies from none other than CAMEROON! His email is jsn_prestley@yahoo.com and he has a reference that says he is wonderful by the name of Stephanie Orton . I should have known but after reading all of this stuff...



Hi there, thanks for the mail. I have 2females and 3 male, they both have great personalities, they'll melt your heart with the look in their eyes. At 7weeks of each puppies life, they visit the vet doctor regularly just to check on health, this puppies weigh 1.3 now and will weigh about 3-4.5lbs as full grown teacup yorkie puppies, i usually ship my puppies with the following;

- Registration papers.

- Health papers.

- A complete vaccination chart.

- A 1year hand written health/genetic warranty.

- An extra food package.

- Puppy blankets.

- Sleeping hampers.

- Toys.

I personally believe that the best diet for a yorkshire terrier puppy is one that the owner makes fresh, using quality ingredients, without preservative. It only takes about one to two hours a week to cook for a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, preparing home cooked meals for a dog can be less expensive than buying the average all-breed, any-breed commercial pet food. I hope that you will consider using this option to feed your companion pet correctly.

Before receiving your new yorkie, there are two things that you should do. The first is to find a vet that you feel comfortable with and trust. You may want to talk to other dog owners in your area to see whon they recommend. Vets re just like your won doctor, you wouldn't go to just any doctor. you want a doctor that is knowledgeable and you trust. Your puppy deserves the same. Secondly, you need to puppy proof your house. I guarantee that anything that is left out a yorkie will find it. Here is a list of ten household items that can kill your dog.

1. Antifreeze

2. Chocolate

3. Bleach

4. Tylenol

5. Water Batteries

6. Moth Balls

7. Fabric Softeners and other detergents

8. Mouthwash

9. Peach Pits

10 Household Plants.

As soon as possible after receiving your yorkie, you need to take your puppy to the vet for check up. I actually recommend taking your puppy to the vet between 3-10 days after receiving your puppy. This gives the puppy time to adjust to his/her new surroundings.

It is necessary to bath your puppy anywhere from once a week to once a month. The environment, type of haircut, and quality of coat all affect how often your new puppy needs to take a bath. Any good shampoo and conditioner will do the trick. While the yorkie is still wet i recommend that his/her coat be combed with any good quality comb. Once their hair has been combed use a blow dryer to dry their hair.

Daily brushing is recommended to maintain the coat and keep it mat free. When brushing , never brush a dry coat, spray your brush with mixture of water and conditioner then brush him/her. Brushing will keep the hair clean, except on the side of the body where urine collects on a male. Wash this area daily with a damp cloth and warm water.

I also offer free life time services to my clients at any time, and i usually advice my clients on how to take good care of the pets. I also do a month to month check on any of my clients just to know how they're doing with their animals, and if any time i feel my puppies are not well treated by any client, i do a full refund and collect the pet. Please do get back to me with the answers to my questions below.

1. Have you ever owned a Yorkie Puppy or any other pet?

2. Do you have kids?

3. What is your working statues? (you work full time or part time)

4. What is the nature of your home?(home or apartment)

5. Are you interested in a pet or show dog?

6. Where are you located at?

Waiting to read back from you soon.




I just knew that he was legit. He didn't say anything about being from Cameroon until a lot later. He was a smart one! I even asked why he had Bradenton Fl as where he lived which in fact he lives in another country and this is his response.

The reason for my location being Bradento FL is, i have been a breeder for the past 2years now and i look for new homes for my puppies across the United States. Because back here in my country people can't really afford for this puppies, and the standard of living here is so harsh due to economic crisis the Country has faced for decades. So i look for homes in the United States because, there my puppies will be well taken care of. I also look for homes with good backgrounds statues, so i know your home will be perfect for this puppy. I will ship your puppy after you payment, being a Father and God fearing, i am not in the position to ripped people out of their hard earned money because i do this for the love of my puppies and not really for money





Nice huh? SOOO... I gave him $207 of my money for nothing... I did this today but I know it's a fraud because he emailed me immediately after I would email back before he got payment and since he got the payment I have heard nothing.... It's been about 5 hrs. And after reading all of this... I know it's fraud. So Don't make the same mistake as I!

[Ms. Unhappy]

I almost fell for this scam but I had never heard of the company they said they were going to use to ship the 2 pups so I decided to google it and something didnt seem right so I googled shipping puppies w/ company... and found out that there had been some scams w/yorkie pups and what other people wrote sounds the same as the response I got back. Im glad I found this site. I was so excited and willing to do anything almost to get these puppies and I was almost in tears reading you peoples comments. Here is the response I got from them after responding to an ad in my local newspaper. I knew something was up when the phone number they had listed in the paper was disconnected. I am also listing their email and fake phone number. People Beware!!!

Greetings to you from the house of the lord,

How are you today, hope fine? thanks for your urgent response and interest in taking and creating a good home and care for our babies and i hope their save will be fine with you. My adorable Yorkshire Terrier (puppies) are still very much available for adoption. they are 15weeks old, the male named (cahced) weigh 2lbs and the female named (Terra) weigh 2.5lbs and will weigh big when fully grown. they are both A K C registered and shots are given up to date. Both of them are my darling sweetheart and super spoiled! They both have a sweet personality and loves to play and be carried around. I want you to know that i and my family(my wife and 3 kids are on a missionary trip to west africa)along with the 2 Yorkshire Terrier Puppies. So later on we notice that the weather here in africa is very

very bad for the puppies to sustain here with us on the missionary trip. So we decided to ask one of our friend in the state to help us place the advert that we are looking for someone to adopt our babies to the state back. I am very glad that you are willing to take care of them and provide them a good and wonderfull home.

Please take note that we should have ask our friend that assist us to place the advert to adopt our babies. But he is a very busy man,he does not have time to spend with the puppies.So that is why he has to place the advert.


All papers will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our long staying over here in africa, and the bad weather we have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. We are not charging or selling them to you for money but to keep thier lifes saved and care for them so this means that, you and i will be paying for the shipment of the puppies to you. they are VET checked, but right now we are in Africa on a Christian mission with my family together with Terra and Cached, we have the puppies right here with us.


We are going to ship to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company with Express Delivery, if you are really interested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me with the below information of yours.


Your Full Name :
Your Cellphone #:
The Nearest Airport To You:

Provide me with the above details of yours to proceed with the shippment of the puppies to you. I am giving them out because of bad weather and we're spending months for the christain mission and i don't want Terra and Cached to die in this bad weather. And because we don't have time to take care of them due to the missionary work before us here. They are priceless to me,therefore i am giving both for free, so i will like you to get back to me with your full name , phone number and your nearest airport where you want the babies to be deliver, so that i can find out shipping cost, I want you to know that you and i are paying for the shipping cost.

[miss_ocean@live.com]

I wish i would have found this website last night. I spoke with a james vama who is supposed to be shipping me two yorkie puppies from Nigera. The guy photocopied me pictures of the shipment papers and everything and everything seemed legit and now I can't get him to reply to my emails because I called the airport asking them where I needed to pick up puppies that were being shipped and she told me I needed to know the airline they were coming on. So I emailed this james and also this jimmy brooks from the shipping company and I'm recieving no reply from either one of them. I also called back one of the numbers he called me on and its suddenly disconnected. I don't know what to do my boyfriend and I sent them $500 dollars and If I don't get puppies. well I just dont know. I wish I would have found this yesterday =(

[Nyla]

Have you attempted contacting the service you used to send the money? You can still retrieve it, minus the transaction fees, if they have not picked it up, but since they're non-responsive, they probably have.

[Malu Lani]

I am so grateful for this site. A couple of days ago, my little daughter was bit on the face by her dog. He has snapped at her a few time here and there, but I just had it when he actually bit her face when she tried to kiss him. I had no choice but to give her dog away and just broke her heart… because she was heartbroken, so was I. So, I went online looking for teacup rescues and came across Petfinders.com. As I was doing my searches, I came across two different ads. Both were giving away teacup yorkies. I responded to both of them. In return, I received these emails the same day:

LETTER #1
Hello,
I am sorry the Yorkie babies have been adopted,hopefully i will be having a new litter by september 2008,if you would be interested in adopting else where i could refer you to one of my old client who adopted 3 Teacup Yorkie babies (1 Male and 2 Female) from me 3 weeks ago he is a doctor and was formally with,

Both my husband and I decided to do a little research online and did a Google on Yorkie Scam in Nigeria… and low and behold hundreds of searches under yorkie scam in Nigeria.

So, word of advice… buyer beware… do your research first! Now onward to finding that little companion for my baby girl.

Thanks to this site, which saves my hope, time and money! I was really hurt by these scams and their "pretentious" care for animals.

Here's the story of my experience... On June 19th, 2008 I answered an teacup Yorkie adoptiona ad on www.puppiessale.org. I emailed this persan named Dalene with the email dalene_bill707@yahoo.com and she said she will give up her Yorkie for adoption if I agree to keep in touch and update her with the puppy's pics and news. I agreed to it and she's asking for $90 for the flight cost. She sounds exactly like the other scam artist who I discovered (thanks to this site). Please see our email script below:

Hey i wanted to warn people that i belive that these Dalene_bill707 people/person are scammer(s) because i saw the ad and they said the same exact thing to me except told me that the shipping would be more than $90 after seeing this i realized i have to be careful and please everyone else be careful too. I'm glad my mom said no other wise we would've been really upset i would've been out a puppy that i've been wanting since I was 12 and now i'm 17 and my mom would've been out her money. So Please Be Careful.

Hi Sharron,

Thanks for the respond to my ad and your interest in my baby yorkie. She is 8 weeks old, 2.6 pounds, doing great and very ready to go, potty trained and very sociable and get along well with people, other household pets and especially with kids. She is on current shots and will come along with vet and up to date health records. Attached to this mail are some of her recent pics. Isn't she lovely?

We are looking for families (an individual is a family of one though) who can commit to a forever home for the dog, and seem to us to have the right stuff to love our puppy. We claim the right to deny any prospective person our puppy and will always choose the home we feel is best for the puppy.

We are giving the baby out on free adoption and this means you will only have to pay a ground deposit of $300.00 which will cover transportation, health certificate and a crate for traveling.

Please do let me know the following
-why you want to adopt my yorkie
-your experience with yorkies
-your location, address and contact info
-a proof that you will be able to take care of the dog
-how much time do you think you can spend with the baby per day
-do you have space in your apartment for the dog to play around
-how many of you live in your home.

Immediately i get all that requested, I shall then determine the family to give my puppy to. Your case will be treated immediately you respond positively and promptly.

We will allow just a day for that and will let you know by the end of the day if you will be the one to take home the puppy. Hope you do get back asap and exercise some patience while we decide on who to be the dog next parents.

Regards and wait to read from you soon.

Lloyd.

NB: HOPE YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE MENTIONED IN THE LAST ATTACHMENT AND IF YOU ARE PLS DON'T GET BACK TO ME. THANK YOU

Hello,
thanks for the mail regarding my adorable puppies.they are playful, loves to be held like a baby and gets along well with other dogs. They loves attention. they loves to curl up in my arms and just fall asleep. When you look at them, they stares in your eyes, itʼs really sweet. When they gets tired of playing,they just passes right out, doesnʼt matter where they are.they often falls asleep before even making it to they bed. They are affectionate and loves to be the center of attention. they knows they gorgeous and their confidence makes up for they size. Fully hand raised.they are 11 weeks old.
All i am interested in is a loving and caring home and a home that would give them all the love,affection and attention that they deserves. they will be coming with Pedigree, registration papers, vet health certificate, shot papers, microchip, one year congenital health guarantee.Asking for an affordable $ 160 for the two of them hope you can afford?.May i ask you some question.
Where are you located?
Why do you want to adopt a puppy?
How is the nature of your home?
Are you married?and with kids?
do you often go on Vacations or business trips?just to know how their new home would look like.
All me and my lovely family has ever offer this puppies from day one is just love and that is what is making them grow very healthy and happy and that is all what we want them to experience in their new loving home.so if you are sure of giving this lovely puppies a befitting happy home,then we would be very much happy to let them go over to you.
please email back to confirm to us if you are willing to give them a good home.below are their pictures the female is called Milo and the male Banly hope you will adore them so much,
Thanks and waiting for your convenient respond.

then from me

Hello,
thank you for replaying. i would like a puppy for my mom and she really wants a yorkie but i can only take one as we already have another dog.
We have a very loving home, it is a nice sized apartment witch is why we want a small dog.
We want the puppy as a gift for my mom, she is 50 and cant work so we want to get her someone to be home and keep her company during the day, also my mom wants a yorkie as they are just the right size for an apartment.
At home it is just me and my mom, i am 16 and i work during the day.
No we dont travel much and when we do it is only to huron to see my brother and his kids.

right now we dont have the money to buy a dog, we get $400 every month for bills, food, and dogie food. and some times i get a little extra from my job and when i do i save it for vet checks and shots for the dog we already have. i dont often get anything from my job as it is volenter work with a family friend. we had two other dogs until just recently, our 11 yo lahsa apso just had to be put down and the other one was a friends dog that we were taking care of while they remodled. my mom was very heart broken when we had to put the dog down and so was i. i am engaged and he helps out with taking care of the dog(s). i am going to try to get the money for a puppy but like i said i will only be able to take one.
thank you so much,
*******

[natasha.P]

I was searching the internet for adopting a pet and i got this email,after searching i realized that this is some scam and i am glad i found more letters like this..
At first i almost fell for it but after some research i found out that it could be a scam.
thank god i didn't believe it!

this is the email i recieved!
Hi,
Thanks for your mail regarding my puppies....I have two still
available to any one prepared to provide them with enough care and
love,where they will be well spoil with all their need.....they are
now 12 weeks old and they have very good temperament with kids and
other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,they
are health guaranteed and DNA tested.....they are up to date on all
their shots and they will be coming along side their health papers and
vet records......They are called Sarah and Banly and i am actually
giving them out because they were always cared and looked after by my
husband(smith) but with a heavy heart i lost smith and she was all i
got ,i work with a global,broad-based health care company devoted to
discovering new medicines, new technologies and new ways to manage
health.smith died in an accident last months on his way back from
work and i have very bad memories when i see these puppies around
me,because they were always together with him since i am always busy
in the laboratory.i really need to give them to someone who can really
care and love them just the way smith used to.These puppies have been
very lonely since smith passed away so the best thing i decided on as
my colleague advised me was to send them to a loving home .i really
count on you if you can be there for them..I am located in vetora Cameroun
and i am only asking $120 for one and $240 for both to ship them to
you.....Please may i also ask you a few questions?
where are you located?
are you a breeder?
do you have kids?
Can you also promise that you will take good care of them?
How soon are you ready to have them home?
At least with this information,i will get to know better where they
will be going to.......See their pictures below.Sarah is the female
puppy while Banly is the male puppy.i just hope you will love
them.....I will also like you to promise me that you will always send
their pictures to me monthly so that i can see how they are doing in
your home......Below is an attachment of their most recent pictures
for you to see.i will be waiting for your mail asap.
thanks and God bless
