Description

This person posed as a legit sphynx cat breeder with a website, page and reference from past adopters. Then sent forms which appeared legit requesting money via zelle. Then when I drove to pick up cat, person said we could meet at police station or Walmart. I chose police. As the day approached for pick up she said her mom had been in a terrible accident and couldn't meet up with me. She Then apologized and said she'd ship. Sent what looked like a legit business called Succex delivery and they asked me to verify shipping then sent notification that I had to pay an additional 200 for a special crate to prevent cat from hyperthermia becauseof weather in the area. This Texas its hot and planes are temperature regulated. I said sender should take care of that and I wasnt paying any 200 that it should be her. They insisted money was refundable and to talk to sender. I said they should since she made she arrangements. They are very insistant on me sending money via zelle or chime. They threatened me me with pet abandonment if I didn't pay the 200 so I said I would contact authorities to let them know and that I wanted an invoice that my bank would be able to verify as legit. The whole time they wanted me to talk to the sender and I kept saying I already did my part and if tou have an issue they needed to take it up with the sender. I also screen shot the forms the supposed breeder sent claiming to be legit, but she has to be bogus if she is using Succex Delivery. I can't attach all the forms to show just how good they are at scamming people.
