Total money lost $950
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was researching cattery’s as I was interested in purchasing a kitten for my child. During my search I came across Munchkin Kittens Home. They seemed to have legitimate reviews and stated that they have been in business for a couple of years. I reached out to them via their website and communicated with Greg Bernice. He sent me what seemed to be up to date videos of the kittens and we proceeded to speak about pricing and shipping. I ended up sending him $$950 via Zelle, only to find out a few minutes later that it was a scam. He assured me that he would return the money if I didn’t pursue the matter with my bank, the nypd and the FTC. But that has not happened. I fell for a scam and would like to make sure that this does not happen to anyone again.
