Free kitties.......

They speak fluent German and meow on command.
Only 500 to the first responses.

I will fly them anywhere for a $100.00 sponsorship fee.

I only want them to have a good home.

Greetings Hiamps,

Just judging from the English in those e-mails, I would definitely say SCAM my friend. They read like English is NOT their primary language.

Keep on BOINCing...! :)

Did a google on "Yorkie Scam" and found almost identical e-mails. I sent back a reply that I want to set up delivery and that my neighbor is a pilot and can set up free delivery with any airline...See what responce I get. Mainly want people to see this...and beware.

I answered an add on Freecycle for a Poor Yorkie pup that needs a new home...Can't wait for the answer to my last question. Heres a few emails...After second email I told her my Sister lived local and could pick dog up...LOL so since she will be gone I asked if I could make the travel arraingements...Bet I can't!
ROFL...

"Hello,
Oh!You are a bit late to inquire on Geisha.She was given to one "Mrs Ellen Defrank" from Siloam Springs,Arkansas but I think you can still have her 'cos she recently message us that she doesn't have chance and much time to take good care of Geisha at present due to the nature of her new job,so she decided to re-home her back home as we're not allowed to own a pet anymore by our landlady.

She is just 13weeks old yorkie and she is house broken,AKC Registered,she is healthy and completed on her shots.She has taken all her shots and love the company of kids and other pets.You can contact her via maltaswagger@gmail.com,if you're willing to take her from Mrs Ellen but make sure you will take good care of her.


Matt."

"Hello,
I have been able to get informations on the shipment from their airport here and they agreed to ship her to you without any delay but they quoted $200.00 including handling and expenses and the shipment will take 5hrs before delivery.

Meanwhile I will e-mail you the tracking number immediately she leaves the airport for you to know the departure and arrival information.She will be coming with her paperworks,toys,crate and photo album then you will be required to sign the delivery paper on arrival to ascertain the originality of the receiver on arrival.I need to know if I should go ahead and take her for registration at the airport and I will get in touch when I return.

Ellen."

"Hello,
I will be visiting my mother in-law tomorrow out of town and I won't be back until ending of next month but I plan to take her to the airport from there.You have nothing to worry about,she will definitely be all aright.


Ellen."
