Scam Description
I saw an ad on Facebook for teacup Yorky puppies. I sent a message as requested via messenger, got a response within 10 minutes. I told the woman I was interested in teacup Yorkies. She sent me a picture of the three they had left. Of course I wanted one! I asked her how much it was. She said $500 which is far cheaper than any other place I’ve seen. That’s a reasonable price for puppies here your 4 1/2 hours away from him on a flight. Can’t spend a whole day driving there. I’m driving back and she said we could have the puppies delivered tomorrow but it’s an extra $50 for shipping delivery. Great I said .
She wanted to collect the whole $550 upfront. I said no offense ma’am, but I’m not sending a total stranger $550. Is there another way? So she says oh I know people could get real jobs but they rather scam other people. And she said she was only 46 which honestly I don’t understand what does that have to do with anything but I said so I’m sorry then she said I could register you and send you the delivery registration form and then once you get that you’ll know the dog is going to be delivered so you can send me $350 and pay the other $200 when the dog shows up I said yes thank you so much but again not sending water mamas money to a child stranger. There’s another one going on Facebook but I he only wanted 100 dollars for the puppies so there’s something on there I’ve been looking on breeder sites and they’re $3000. It’s just paste to be careful.
