$450 YORKIES..SCAMMERS STRIKE AGAIN!!

I just had a very sweet couple leave my house after they came to visit the yorkies. They just were scammed and lost the money they sent to someone for a yorkie. They told me they answered an ad about Yorkies for sale for $450.00. They were told that they did not have any right now, but that they had a friend who did ...and they would highly recommend them. So she sent emails to the "friend" who told them she was 78 years old...and yes she would sell them a yorkie as a favor to the friend.............after many emails...they were told to send a money gram for $450 so they did. They then received an email telling them what flight and what time the dog would arrive at the Portland Jet Port...........but no puppy arrived!!!! When they got home they had an email stating that the woman had gone to get the money gram and they would not let her cash it for 24hours........therefore she took the dog home.......what was she....stupid??!!!! This incident has been reported to the authorities and to the FBI, however, unfortunately they are told that they cannot track or trace emails.............This is a sad situation we all are in. Scammers, identity theft, robberys and more........what or what is this world coming to!!?? I asked them if they had read my alert on the front home page.........they said, "Yes, today, but not last week when we originally called you." Unfortunately if they had, it might have saved them the heartache and disapointment that they are experiencing now..............beware everyone...... Holly
