Description

I was trying g to purchase a companion Duck for my friends Male Duck that lost its mate, the lady Deendea showed me a few pictures I picked 1 female, she said 50.00, I asked about food type it is used to, she said for 10.00 she will send food, so I thought I was being nice and sent 65.00 through Zelle, then I asked her to wait because we were expecting a 3 level storm on Wednesday, so ship day was supposed to be Nov 13 2025 in Thursday, this morning Thursday at around 8:00AM I get an email from the shipper asking for a payment of 105.00 for a ventilated container because it was in a cardboard box and for food and water , so I sent it to the shipper through Zelle, the name was Kenichi Miwa, then I get another email saying they need to license the duck at customs, 250.00, I sent it with Amazon gift card, then they emailed back and said because customs put a hold on it and I took to long to send the pay of 250.00 now they need 200.00 more, that’s when I knew I was being scammed it hold then I’m done, they kept promising to reimburse it when the Duck arrived at the destination, I said can’t you cover it for me if they are just going to reimburse you? I said it doesn’t make sense, then they asked me to send the payment to Ashawnde Kearny, at [email protected], I just received another message from that shipper company saying they will send a refund in the morning, the Duck was supposed to be sending from Oregon to California
