I have been looking online for pomchi puppies, or other small breed puppies to adopt. I answered three seperate ads, that said they were in the cour d alene area. They all replied just about the same manner. Poor english, asked the same questions, and wanted to give these expensive dogs away for free. Except, I had to pay the pet courier service. As I read the first email from Linda last night, I was really thinking about going for it. We spoke a little while. I woke up this morning, and googled asnclassified pet scams, and there it was, a bunch of stuff. Here is the first email I got from her.

Hi there,
thanks for the mail. Prince and Princess are the two available Teacup Yorkie puppies, they are hand raised and home trained
with all papers, AKC tested and have a good
relationship with other pets and well trained too. They are vet checked with up to date vet records. They are ready to go for
adoption with free puppy crate and toys. I am looking
for a good home and will meet up any requirements if
needs to be shipped. Their full grown size is 4.5-5ibs. They will come with a pedigree and are 10 weeks old. They will be going out for free
adoption and a free puppy crate and other accessories
and all you need to pay is the shipping fee ok. I am
giving them for adoption because I just got a new job and my job requires a lot of time so I immediately realized that they are going to be lonely
and as you know they are very delicate creatures and
need a lot of care and devotion and that is why I have
decided to give them out to a loving and caring home
where they will be loved and will be given all the
time and attention that they need so if you are
interested, get back lets see how they get home. Am presently located in Water town-South Dakota from where the puppies can be pickup or ship depending on your location. May i know the following from you;
1 Do you have pet experience?
2 Have you ever had Teacup Yorkie puppy before?
3 How soon do you want the puppies? Can that be
today?
4 Will you prefer both or one?
5. Where are you located?
Sorry for so many question but i mean no offense ok. These puppies can
be pick up right and if you cant come pick up the puppies then they
can be ship to you as we have experience pets shipping agencies here
ok.
Thanks and waiting to read from you.

So after a while, I decided to tell her that I would just come and pick the puppy up. She asked how long the drive is. I said about fifteen hours. She said that is too much stress for the puppy, and she prefers airline. I told her fine, and said that my husband and I would book a flight, and I just needed her information. THis is the email I got back.

I will make the arrangements for the puppy to be ship to you and you will pay the delivery fee to the shippers so that they will ship Princess to you.
When I said thank you, but I prefer to pick her up, I have not heard anything back from her. Be aware. They make this stuff seem pretty legit.
