Do not pay to have puppies shipped to the US from any foreign country. IT IS A SCAM. I got scammed out of a Yorkie puppy. First the location where the dog was posted did not match the dog's real location.
The people scam you by making it seem like they are so sincere. Also if somebody calls you, it is a scam. This is what happened to me. After I sent my $350 in I did some research and I found the same scam emails that were worded differently but were basically the same.
Alex Rowland, scammed me out of my $350 with his fake African accent. He picked up my money and went on about his business. Atleast it was only $350 though and not more.
This is an example of the email:
"Hi my name is (xxxxx). I was interested in adopting one of the Yorkie puppies you have available. I was referred to by the breeder she told me you were overseas. I currently have a Pomeranian so the puppy will be taken care of. If you can get back to me and let me know how much the puppy would be I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you"

He also kept calling me. This should have been the first clue that this was a scam.
He was "rushing" me to send him the money. Also he kept emailing me back to back
about the yorkie puppy.
Then he calls me and says he sent the confirmation code and to check my email.
I checked my email and read that:
My travel agent contacted me to say Jessica have been shipped out to
>>>>>> United Kingdom a couple of hours ago cos there is no direct flight
>>>>>> from Nigeria to United State,she would be shipped from United Kingdom
>>>>>> to Your location in United State,Ga.

So i asked for my money back and he tells me he doesn't get paid until June 5th, which June 5th had already passed. #2 SCAM!! I asked him how can they go a whole month without paying somebody?
Then he told me I was in good hands. #3 SCAM!! Do not send this man any money. It is a scam!!
