Description

Seller site is Harlequinpaws.com and they specialize in selling Maine Coon and Ragdoll Kittens. We initiated in a purchase of a kitten for $550.00 and totaling $693 for transport fees and taxes etc, and was very excited in receiving a unique kitten. Seller said we had to make additional payments of $990.00 which would be a deposit for a special transport carrier. Our payment fees was stopped by Paypal for additional services which led my wife and I to investigate the additional service fees and the the related transport company All Forward Transport Dept, https://www.afptdept.com/. In searching this company we were made aware of Pet Transport Frauds, which made us aware that we were targeted for a scam and fraud.
