I was looking for pedigree cats on line when I found one, a British Short Hair, Male. The person who "supposedly" owned the cats told me that it was $400. WE agreed to half up front and half on delivery. He provided me a certificate of sale and a certificate. He then called me and said he couldn’t send the cat because the courier required a solid Cat Cage. He said it would cost $350, but it would be returned to me in cash. I said that was not our initial agreement. He said he understood and asked to send him the rest of the money $200 and he would purchase the cat cage at Wal Mart and I could pay him back when I got the cat. I sent him the card and receipt for Wal Mart. He then called me later and said the card wasn’t going through. I went back to Wal Mart and they advised me that the card was used and that they locked it down due to suspicious activity. I called him and said to return my money or provide the cat. He said he wouldn’t do it. I spent $400 and I have nothing to show for it. Wal Mart hasn’t contacted me back even though they said they would.

I answered a ad on internet Boston terrier puppies for sale, 654.00 for each pup one male and one female then they said pay a small delivery fee so that they come to your door. I got a confirmation that the puppies are at the airport. The next morning I was told my puppies need insurance to fly here. When I said no the breeder said I won’t get the puppies till I pay it. The I’m told they can’t give me a refund because they gave the money to the orphanage. But as soon as she sales the puppies she will refund. Now her website is gone along with my money
