Scam Description
Person pretended to be a small siamese cat breeder located across the country. They wanted $500 before I could see any paperwork or pedigree on the kitten I chose. And would not explain anything about the shipping process, claimed they used an outside vendor so after payment was received I would hear from the shipping company. I could not get any information about the business elsewhere. All of the people who left reviews did not even exist. Luckily my bank called me when I Zelle’d the money and said they could not link the account to any legitimate business and strongly advised me to cancel the payment request. So I did. Once I told the person they never text or emailed me back again.
