Description
This individual allegedly named Ellie has a Facebook website called Ellie’s Free Kittens In Search of New Homes. She will ask what type of cat you want and will show photos of the desired feline. She will tell you that the cat costs and offer a $150 rehoming fee. She will fail to tell you about the shipping’s fee. Then will tell you about the shipping company Sky Freight Carrier who will ask you to pay with she in cahoots with plenty of people with foreign accents. She gives all of your information so they can text concerning the cat’s shipping. They will ask for $300 and want it in Apple Pay. They will send a fake video of them shipping the cat. Then they will ask $999 for cat insurance and want you to use Apple Pay only. When confronted she blocked me.
