Several years ago, a friend of mine had a littler of puppies from her little Yorkie, and she had advertised them for sale in the local paper. One couple came out and looked at the puppies, and picked out the one that they wanted; but they told my friend that they didn't have money along with them, and they had to go to the bank and get the money. They explained which bank they used, and said they would meet her there in an hour if she could bring the puppy and meet them at the bank.
So, she loaded up the puppy and went to the bank, but the people were not there yet. She waited and waited; but they never showed up; so she finally gave up and took the puppy back home.
When she arrived back home, she found that they had gone to her house and stolen all of the puppies, as well as the mother dog; so she not only lost the puppies, but the mother, who was her beloved pet.
The people obviously had intended to do this right from the beginning, and as soon as she pulled out of her driveway; they probably went to her house and got the dogs from her back yard dog run.
It seems like there are all kinds of scams that people will use to steal dogs and puppies, especially purebred ones that can easily be re-sold.
