Did a web search searching for a Bengal Cats for sale. One of the top sites was americankennelbengal.net and it was a professional looking page. I submitted a on-line contact form and was contacted by email from [email protected] The purported kennel wanted payment via *** *** money transfer. I asked for a business address, telephone, tax ID number which they ignored, and they stated it wasn’t required for the transfer. They were informed no information, no transfer, and no further correspondence with the scammer.

My husband is wanting a bengal kitten, I on the other hand am not willing to spend that kind of money for one at the moment ($1000 +), so he searches the web and finds this Kennel Club Bengals website and proceeds to e-mail them inquiring of the purchase, etc. I read the response e-mail from them and immediately told him they were a fraud, he tried calling their phone # with no luck, the 2nd email received gave me even more reason to believe they are a SCAM. (Below is their 2nd response to my husband)

I had waited so long to find a Bengal kitten I could afford ,I am going in for surgery with a long rehab so I thought this kitten would help me, I found this website and he was having a sale the add said he had coupons for the pet to be delivered so that is why he could let her go he asked all the correct questions and all info pics and so on, I said ok paid for the kitten and 4:45 Monday morning no paperwork bill of sale and no more contact no kitten no money. Sad thing he wanted to know the kind of family she would be going to and I told him I was disabled and everything. please do something about this thief.
