🚨 POSSIBLE SCAM ALERT – “Free Yorkies” 🚨

We’ve been alerted that the “Free Yorkies” mini ad in the November issue of the Onehunga Community News could be a possible scam. They claim the yorkies are free, but are asking for a $400 rehoming fee. The Editor has requested a response from the advertiser to verify their eligibility, but is still waiting for a reply.

Please don’t send money or share personal details.

They have been reported to Netsafe.

Stay safe, Onehunga 🐾
