Scam Description
Cheap Maine Coon cats for sale $500 plus a $200 deposit. To ship out the following day they wanted proof of payment via screenshot from my bank. Then I got an email telling me about the flight information. Then I got a another email from the delivery companies dating. I needed to buy a better cage, turned around and tried to get me for pet insurance which I did not need either. The guy on the other end of the phone kept trying to get me to send this money and was very aggressive about it telling me I needed to do it and that I’m abandoning a cat at the airport. He even tried pulling the animal abandonment thing on me. Crazy!
