Description

I was looking for Scottish fold kittens online and i saw a website that was sponsored by google which gave me peace of mind. We contacted them after finding a kitten we liked, they said her name was Gilia and she was 800 and that they do next day shipping to Arizona for an extra 200, we were skeptical so we asked how we know if they’re legit they said we sign a contract for extra peace of mind so we sent them $1000 then their “shipping” company sent an email saying that we needed to pay for pet insurance to proceed with delivery and that was $1495 but it was refundable upon delivery then the next day we got another email saying that the crate provided by the seller wasn’t safe and that because of new regulations we need to rent the kitten another up to standard crate which was $1190 which was supposed to be refundable as well. They told us she’ll be here Saturday and it’s Monday. But no one has told us any updates nor will the seller respond to any messages or calls. I would honestly just like my money back. I didn’t think to look more into the images and information provided on the website because google recommended them as trustworthy and even sponsors them but looking more into the website now it looks sketchy and I feel dumb for falling for it but google sponsoring it really made me blind. We sent money through zelle we sent $1000 to [email protected] and $2685 to [email protected]
