Scam Description
A big contact should be a text introduced themselves. Next thing you know you’re getting an email telling you about some electric dog crate that is the best to ship them in and that their company requires it. So after I paid that they $850 was supposed to be refundable by the way. He emails me back and tells me that there’s an fee for insurance for the cat to travel from New Jersey airport to Greensboro and it’s 1500. I said no way I’m not giving you any more money. He called me back several times. Sent me very pressing emails and try to sway me into sending the money and threatening me with pets abandonment at the airport. I almost forgot the best part. They only want you to pay through zell. They want you to take a screenshot of the payment and send it to them. They take pictures of cats from different websites and post them to lure you in at a cheap price.
