Scam Description
i had ordered a pet monkey from Starburk exotics when went to ship they said i needed to rent a crate to ship money in that was refundable upon delivery amount of 1000.00 then they come back and said that the pet needed life insurance to be able to ship the cost was 895.00 then monkey got sick then died so when i ask about the life insurance they said i was intitled to 15,980.00 but i had to send over 900.00 in order to receive our check so they scam me out of 2595.00 plus the life insurance .also Starburk exotics scammed us out of 800.00 from Portland Or. were asking to get a full refund i also have text messages documents that will support my evidence but ill have to down load them to my pc
