Scam Description
I attempted to purchase a kitten from this Maine Coon breeder. After submitting the payment, I received suspicious email indicating that the shipment requirements for the cat had changed due to Covid-19. The sender of the shipment identified themselves as Inexpress Courier Ltd. and requested $1550.00 to rent a thermal carrier which would be refunded to me at the time of delivery. The company tracking information looked bogus and the sender was a gmail account.
