Total money lost $600
Type of a scam Online Purchase
Hi, since I have worked really hard as of late to help my wife she wanted to give back and show her love towards me, so she went online and found what she believed to be the perfect present to help my stress because of my dead end job.
At first she kept it a secret and borrowed $300 from my best friend so that she could pay for a special breed of cat (that apparently is very popular and costs up to $1000). She had already sent them that money and then they said that there was an insurance fee and that they needed it so they could deliver the animal to us. They told her to hurry and that they were literally holding the plane for us.
They gave her a list of instructions “+14692240264 – You shall be doing a wired transfer by WESTERN UNION.
Receivers name: Jacob king
State: TX
City: Richmond
Zipcode: 77406
Amount…. $300
And told her it must be done NOW! It happened and they said that our new pet would be delivered by 7:30 pm that night. 7:30 arrives, no animal, soon it’s 10:30 and still no pet, finally at 12:00am we called it quits and went to bed. Only I was able to sleep, she stayed up the whole night bawling her eyes out because she fell for a scam and that she wanted to help me out and couldn’t.
These people are despicable and need to be dealt with and hopefully jail time for life. They ruin people’s dreams and hope that they may have for a happier future! All in all they stole $600 from us, and $300 of that was from my best friend thinking that he was helping me out!!!!!
Nothing was received!
