Kitten scammers

Please refer to my review of Cats and Kittens Paradise.co.za. They have now sourced an additional website with a new name, i.e. Fancy Kittens 4 Homes or sales@fancykittens4homes.co.za. Different name but same scammers. They are apparently now using a stolen ID document of an old lady from Pharaborwa.

Cats and Kittens Paradise is a fraudulent website. They send photos of kittens for sale but you cannot view the merchandise since we are on coronovirus lockdown. They claim to have a special permit to transport the pets during lockdown. They provided the following physical street address: 19 Lilyvale St Rayton, Bloemfontein, 9332 Bloemfontein, Free State. When I couldn't reach them on the cellphone as it went to voicemail they provided another number but said the reception was always poor. To gain my confidence they sent through a copy of a South African ID and all the emails were sent using the gmail address in the name of the person whose ID they had stolen. They requested an instant money transfer as they said that the bank that I was tranferring the money from, Standard Bank, always had issues. I paid a deposit of R1850 into their FNB bank account and never heard from them again. They also tried to convince me to send through a copy of my ID to apparently register the kitten in my name. Copies of White female ID's seem to be at the top of their list.
