Was to buy Maine [censored] kitten. Was to pay to a strange account name. It would not work. They told me to go to PayPal friends & Family to pay. 950 for kitten/ 250 for delivery . Then pet nanny out of town so could not delivery could not contact them. Email & told them we were to be in MPLS on 19th they could deliver there. They wanted another 200 for shots & worming sent the same way. Told them when cat is in my hands I would give then the extra for the so called shots & wormings that was to already have been done. We need the money now; son cannot make the trip down with out it. They said 4 pm I said be there at 3 or my son would meet them half way. They kept insisting the money to be sent.Best part I already gave them 250 for transport. They realize I figured out it was a scam. They never replied to my sons text message.
So I got no kitten I have kept all of the Emails that we had.

We found a Maine [censored] Cattery on line and emailed and texted back and forth with them about a kitten we wanted to purchase. They asked for a deposit thru money gram to start the paperwork. So I sent the deposit. After that I keep asking when we could get the kitten and I would get round about answers. So the last time I asked she told me to send the balance for the kitten thru money gram. I was like no way. Then of course just silence
