Scam Description
I purchased a kitten from a breeder (whom I also already reported) and this carrier first emailed me with confirmation and tracking number. Then they sent me another email shortly after claiming due to weather and temperature changes, the kitten should have to be shipped in a special temperature controlled crate and asked me to pay $1,850 for the crate plus vaccine from the vet. They said if I return the crate back to them at the time of delivery, then I will get a full refund. I said okay, but asked to use my credit card and that’s when it all happened. They insisted I use Zelle for immediate payment directly from my bank. I said I don’t want to, then they sent me this link to make the payment and my credit card company didn’t process the payment due to possible scam. They are threatening me for abandoning the kitten and that I will be charged $7,000+ for abandoning the kitten. I asked the seller for refund and she’s not responding back. These two work together and scam people. Company website is a joke too. Phone number is a joke too. Company is not even registered to do business in Washington.
