Scam Description

This person has a website advertising scottish fold cats for sale. I contacted them through their website and they texted and emailed me back with information about the cat along with pictures. After asking for a deposit through 3 different Zelle addresses (they were not registered so did not work), I finally paid the deposit of $400. We were supposed to arrange a pickup date and time however they insisted we Zelle the remaining amount of $1100 before we can meet. I started to get suspicious at that point, it didn’t make sense we had to pay before meeting in person. They refused to go past that and said they would send back the deposit by the end of day if we didn’t pay the balance. Obviously they never sent it back.
