Total money lost $300
Type of a scam Online Purchase
They have several emails:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Who knows how many more? They constantly make new money retrieving accounts, emails, and identities.
I was fooled by the fact that their kittens have partially similar backgrounds, and I had no experience with the online pet sales environment. I filled an application, they emailed me, asked for my number, then texted me to make a $300 deposit with a total of $800 purchase. I paid $300 with Paypal. After which I signed a "contract." The name on the contract was "Justine Becky." I tried to ask questions about their cattery and the animals, and they frequently got very aggressive with me. They showed me a screenshot of "proof of payment," to say that I should calm my attitude and stop acting like they were in desperate need of my money. They consistently guilt tripped me, and told me I was out of line and causing problems by being so difficult. They consistently threatened to cancel the sale and got mad when I wouldn't pay immediately. The screenshot was of a Venmo charge, and it showcased a completely different person. I eventually found and contacted that person on Facebook (Savannah Gary), and she had no clue what this was.
I originally backed out of the first charge on Venmo, which was an empty account with no picture, which they were very angry. When I said I'd try Venmo again, they showed me a new account with a different name and profile of a person who I also found ok Facebook. I obviously backed out, but not after ensuring they're going to block my number and not "refund" me the $300 like they promised.
After the first PayPal payment, they told me they couldn't have more than $2000 dollars in their PayPal, and that they had to use their son's. Another address. I tried to pay to them on PayPal the remaining $500 under "goods and services," as a means of protection, and they refunded me and got very angry and told me I was nothing but a problem. They explained they do not deal with business limitations. After which they scolded me for "ruining and limiting" their PayPal, and gave me another address.
They list on the website being in San Francisco. They told me they would ship to my door, as I am in NorCal I said that was silly and ai would come to them. They said they would only do that if I immediately paid in full before delivery. They also gave me a fake address of their residence:
**** ******* ** San Francisco, CA 94116
I consistently asked if I could meet them before paying, and they were mean. They demanded I pay them, called me names, guilt tripped me, acted beside themself that I was "behaving this way", and it is very believable if you are young and ignorant.
I could not afford to lose this money, so I am very downtrodden. I actually tried to research if they were a scam, and found NO info or report on them specifically! I need the information out there. Today I spoke with a reputable breeder who had brought up their name when I mentioned pet scams, this breeder also mentioned that they used to con Rottweiler puppies.
On Katty's website, such as in the about where it mentions "vets," there are what looks like accidental implemented links to a since removed Labrador Retriever puppy website with the same url format. It can be assumed they scammed people with this as well.
They have posted ads in several places, and have advertised being in Miami, Oklahoma, and San Francisco. Please let people know.
