I wanted to have a kitten shipped to me and was told it would be only $450 to ship the kitten to me. I proceeded with the payment and received emails from [email protected] and was called by the following number 1+ (214) 810-4291. I was told I could not pay with credit card strictly through Zelle and Cashapp and so I did. the zelle account was [email protected] and the cashapp account was $Zipup01 to a name of James Baker. I sent $450 through Cashapp. then i received an email saying we needed to change the crate of the kitten for maximum comfort with delivery and so I made another $700 payment $300 through cash app to $zipup01 and $400 I was asked to purchase a steam giftcard as it would be easy to take out the money to later refund to me when the cat was delivered to my door and so I proceeded to do so. Then I just received another email stating I have to pay another $890 of insurance that will be refunded to me once the cat arrives and there was no contact information provided or any further information to send the money and then I tried calling the number that has been contacting me and no one responded and I emailed and no one responded as well. Now I have lost $1150 and I tried requesting a refund of the $450 through cashapp and they declined but refuse to answer back my calls. Please help me.
