I found a kitten I was interested in buying. So I contacted Sphynx Affairs, about a kitten named Chloe. Ken and Christina Richardson sent pictures and videos and he requested payment via PayPal friends and family. The kitten was $500 dollars and $250 for shipping. I was told to pay an additional $950, from his shipping company, Royal U Ship, and this company wanted gift cards. I was extremely angry, as Mr. Richardson never mentioned the additional fees.
I went to a local Walmart just to find this is a common scam that scammers use. I demanded my money back and Mr. Richardson refused. As I used friend and family, there is no way to recoup my money.
I believe these scammers use legitimate shipping agency and create a false website. This is obviously a scam by varies people. On my receipt there was Chinese writing, so I believe these scammers are located in China. Please beware of these scammers.
Desired outcome: I want my money back
This is there website. Chloe was still up for "adoption" when the scammers claimed she was being shipped.
