Scammers!!! They emailed back after we filled out a contact us about buying a Ragdoll kitten for my daughter. Everything seemed legit, I paid via Apple Pay $700 for the kitten, they had said it was $700, $550 for kitten and $150 for travel. They said the next morning the travel company would reach out to deliver and they were going to send a video of the kitten at the airport. All of that was done, but the travel company called stating that due to extreme weather conditions we would need to rent a thermal air conditioned crate to transport the kitten safely. I then said no they told me it was $150 for travel and that’s already been paid I’m not paying another dollar. That’s when I knew it was a scam. They even said are you going to let this kitten die, and I said are you being the “breeder”? Needless to say we never received the kitten and are out $700. I messaged them and said no goods were exchanged and I want my $700 back, but have never heard another word. Just putting it out there so this doesn’t happen to anyone else! BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM RIHAS RAGDOLLS!!!!

Home Improvement - Itinerant Contractors - Driveway Paving Scam

I was approached at my home by an individual offering driveway services.. He stated that they were working in the area and could provide professional driveway installation while we were completing other property upgrades. The contractor who introduced himself as "Ed" who claimed to be the owner of the company, represented that: A laser would be used to properly grade and pitch the property for correct water drainage. 6.5 inches gravel/ item 4 would be installed and fully compacted. three inches of asphalt would be installed and properly compacted. Belgium blocks would be carefully removed and reinstalled with a cement footer for stability and level finish, including aliment with neighbor's driveway. The completed driveway would have a perfect pitch, proper aesthetics, and meet professional standards. Once the work began, none of these promises were fulfilled: No laser or proper grading equipment was used. Driveway was not pitched correctly; asphalt was laid up to the garage door, creating drainage concerns. The gravel base was not installed with thicknesses as stated. Belgium blocks were installed without a footer, misaligned, uneven, and inconsistent in height and appearance. Workers used my materials(wood, sand, cones. Workers entered my garage without permission. As a result a classic 1993 Mercedes belonging to my son was scratched during the work. After pointing out these deficiencies, the contractor stated that he "did his best" and still demanded full payment. When I refused, citing the defective and incomplete work, I was intimidated and threatened that he would "come and tear up the driveway" I just wanted what was contracted and I had no objection to them removing their work, but instead, the harassment continued. Additionally, there was confusion over who actually owned the company. First, one individual claimed to be the owner, then another arrived claiming ownership. This "good guy/bad guy" tactic appeared to be an attempt to pressure and confuse me into paying for substandard work. Turned out to be brothers. I believe this operation is deceptive in nature, possibly fraudulent designed to pressure homeowners into on-the-spot contracts and payments for work that is neither properly performed nor professionally warranted.
