Total money lost $400
Type of a scam Online Purchase
Went to buy a kitten online. Breeder wanted us to use Western Union which I should have known right away was a bad idea but I had never gotten a pet from out of state so I didn’t know. I sent the money and was told that the breeder was going to send us the kitten with no cost of shipping. Later that day a shipping agency reached out to me with a tracking number for the shipment of the kitten. Not even an hour later the shipping agency was telling me that the kitten needed more shots and a new cage in order to be shipped. All of this would cost me another $900. I told them I was not going to be doing this and that I looked up these vaccines and special cage and that they weren’t real. The agency then hung up on me and wouldn’t answer my calls. I called the breeder back and he stated that he contacted the agency and that he would help me pay for shipment if I paid 500 more dollars. I told him No. I asked for my money back since this obviously was a scam. His website says 100% money back guarantee. He said he needed 7 days to get my money ummmm why do you need 7 days when I literally just gave you money today. Needless to say its been 4 days with nothing. Please don’t be as naive as I was and fall for this scam.
