How to avoid being scammed

---

A scammer will quickly focus on the deposit.They will say things like:

- It's only $100, if I were a scammer, I would ask for more. 

- They will undoubtedly throw religion into the conversation, stating that they are Christian and would NEVER steal from anyone

- You can visit our facility after you secure the deposit

- We have MANY clients that want this dog. You must make the deposit quickly or I will sell to another cleint

NEVER NEVER NEVER send any money until you have verified that the person you are dealing with is legitimate.

---------------------------------

We do ask for a deposit at AKCyorkies.net. However, that is only after you are comfortable with us and, preferably, have met us face-to-face (Or at least a facetime)

Asking for a deposit is standard business practice. However, focusing on that deposit early into the conversation, and insisting on that deposit often is a huge red flag!

Insist on a phone call! A scammer will stall when asked for a phone call. They are ALWAYS busy and "cannot take a call at this time, but I can tonight". If it feels suspicious, it almost certainly is

---------------------------------

AKCyorkies.net will schedule a call within 8 hours of your request (We do both work full time jobs, so cannot always do the call immediately).
