Type of a scam Online Purchase
I saw a beautiful Maine [censored] kitten online and was thrilled. The breeder charged me a fee and then I received an email from Domestic Pet Ways via [email protected] They first tried to get me to make a cash deposit into their account, I became suspicious. They asked me about a heated crate and then the next day they tried to ask me for more money saying that it was for certifying shipment with USDA. They were aggressive about this. When I didn’t give them amazon/walmart cards immediately, they went AWOL. I then told them that I believed they were a scam and only got a reply the next day. They were hostel and demanding. They did not like that I didn’t give them the money. They threatened me with reporting me for abandonment to quarantine. When I sent them links to sites that say they are a scam. They sent the message in all caps. They are not willing to give me any real proof that they exist.The breeder claimed that his wife had a baby yesterday and that’s why he didn’t respond. They tried to guilt me into paying but I am refusing. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE STEAL FROM YOU
