Description

I tried to get a Maine coon kitten online through permainecoonkittens.com based out of Oklahoma. He said he was going to ship the kitten but on the day of the shipping a carrier company called me and said I had to pay $1600 for a special crate for the cat to fly Once I paid that then there was a $2000 certificate of health fee and then there was another $3000 cargo fee and it kept going up from there. I asked to talk to a manager. They put me on with another manager who kept telling me that Cat was getting ready to fly, but I had to pay for an airline tickets, then I had to pay for a special shot for the cat for the flight and then I had to pay the breeders late fees because the breeder didn’t pay the correct amount. The breeder never told me any of this. He said he was going to ship the kitten from Oklahoma to Bradley, but they intercepted the kitten in New York and took my kitten hostage. Once I proved to them that this kitten was false because this kitten pictures were stolen off of another Instagram or’s website. They said they would refund all my expenses. I just had to pay all kinds of extra fees via bitcoin then I would get the kitten. That never happened. I then had to pay an IRS fee for a permit, etc. etc. I am now at close to $50,000 in many promises of getting all of my money back from this “manager named Scott, but that hasn’t happened and he is still trying to contact me every day to give him more money and he says he promises my refund is gonna be delivered the next day, but then there is a problem with the truck. There’s a problem getting the money to me, etc..
