I came across this advert today and it REALLY infuriates me. I reorted the advert on Gumtree but I dont think they really do much about it. So I googled the email address...do yourselves all a favour and do the same and you will DIE at the scams that this person is pulling! Seems these puppies live in all provinces and they are even trying to do the same thing with bulldogs

NOTE! there is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE YORKIE! never believe it and dont even entertain the idea. Unless it is at a shelter or from a person you personally know. When I got Taylor I was so convinced I was being conned that i drove after work on a Friday afternoon 120kms to go and see her with my own eyes, hold her and talk to the breeder before handing ovr any money.

How do we prevent this? they say "adoption" but when you contact them there will 99% be an airfare involved which you pay and they run. I see the signs only because someone tried to scam me like this before.

Just google that email address in the advert...

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take back what I said about Gumtree not paying attention to complaints! the advert is gone, within the space of time that I wrote this report! im so impressed. but fot those of you who want it, the email address is

Well done to Gumtree for responding so quickly and removing the advert

I think I saw that very add on gumtree and also reported it!! Was it an add with two yorkies in a box??

No, it was 2 puppies and someone holding them but you can't see the person.

here's the picture link

im reporting them all because others have had the advert removed as well. I cant believe how low people stoop

I cant seem to access this link either. But the add I saw on Gumtree also said tea cup yorkies for adoption. There were two pups standing over the edge of a box. They probably stole that pic from someones website!! I reported it as well.

It's a sick sick world Im telling you These people play with people's heart strings and emotions to steal money Very sad

It is frightening how many scams are on Gumtree and the likes Sick what people will do for money But these scam artists are creating a huge problem for the people who are trying to put genuine Ads on Gumtree My Ad on Gumtree has been booted off twice - but I am not violating any of the Gumtree policies I emailed Gumtree my reactivation request and they have put my Ad back now - but no one there can answer my question "for what reason was the Ad removed?" So I can only imagine it's because someone thought it must be a scam

The add I placed for the yorkie forum was also booted!!! I suppose someone also thought it was a scam?? But we got a lot of new members from it so I suppose it worked for us!!!

It's sad hey? the legit people lose out Perhaps they felt the advert for the forum was unrelated?? dunno! think of it this way...Gumtree is full of people scamming others...but maybe some of the buyers are also rotten so your puppy will be better off!

Now report Jose to Yahoo as a scam artist and they will cancel his account. That will kill response to ALL his ads (you can bet gumtree is not the only place he is advertising...that horrid woman with the "boerdery" was advertising on Junk Mail and other places!). But if his account is cancelled by Yahoo, he will have to do a LOT of work getting a new account and changing all his adverts before he can start picking people's pockets again.

Thank you for the warning. I agree there are no free Yorkies only greedy businessman.

Who would give away a precious little pup like these???? i report them all. they banned that advert and then a few days later there were TWO more from the same people.

This just makes me so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
