Type of a scam Online Purchase
They sale exotic pets. I thought I was buying a female capuchin Monkey. The website site is fraud they don’t sale nothing. They wanted me to purchase 1000.00 Walmart e-gift cards and I did. They where suppose to ship her. Well I get another email saying I need to purchase 250.00 Walmart e-gift cards and I did, that is suppose to be for shipping. Then after I did that they wanted another 1400.00 deposit for pet shipping crate and I would not do. That’s when I realize I had been scam. No monkey and Walmart said they redem the e-gift cards so I could not get my money back. I ask them repeated send my money they went silence and I never got my monkey just out lots of money.

The ScamPulse.com suggests using extreme caution will dealing with any company or individual who claims to be selling any type of pet, especially if they ask for payment in the form of gift cards. Do your due diligence on the company/individual before you do business. Find out if you can come and visit the animal or pick the animal up directly. If they are unwilling to allow you access to the animal in question, then there may not be any animal for sale.
