Description

I came across the website catsusabengals.com and they had available kittens. They were running a one time 50% sale on current kittens which made them $550.00. That was the first red flag but I continued to fill out the contact form they provided. I was emailed within minutes with additional pictures of the kitten of interest and what was a basic questionnaire to answer to make sure I "qualified". I didn't answer all the questions but still received an email a few minutes later stating they could ship the kitten for $250.00 from California to Texas. That was another red flag as most pet shipping companies minimum fees are higher than that for in state shipments. They gave me an address to also come and get the kitten at 4320 Traci Way Fortuna, CA 95540. When I searched this up it came back with a few BBB complaints for different cat websites that were using the exact same pricing for more exotic cats and shipping instructions etc. When I emailed them back calling them out on the scam, all responses stopped immediately. I knew it was too good to be true but took it far enough to expose them for who they are. Please beware of anyone using this information to try and sell you something that doesn't exist.
