Type of a scam Online Purchase
Hi contacted what seemed to be a real mainecoon breeder and back and forth of questions to approve me for the purchase of the kitten and run down of how they ship/fly there animals there care and policies . Then said they only accepted payment through money gram and it was to a person Bruno Conroy not the business Elite MaineCoons based out of Virginia .. then through texts was getting the runaround and no confirmation of the flight and pet nanny flight service I paid for .. he kept sending texts he was at work and would contact me and in hour and time would go by and nothing and time of flight was approaching and no texts or emails and stopped responding after saying he was at work and sent supposed emails with the information .then sent general flight number and times but no confirmation. I would have been sitting at the airport that’s an hour from my house waiting for a Mainecoon kitten named panther that would never arrive . Red flags for cake up as soon as I sent the money using that service for the first time and having no real protection for my purchase . The websites and emails all seemed legit and were detailed to approve me to be an owner of there animal even texts saying what kind of food I should get . I’m sure the address is fake he sent me since the money service only required the name and state of the person .
