On 12 February 2017 at about 740pm I came across an advertisement on adpost.com/sg stating about the sale/adoption of a Scottish Fold kitten that I was interested in getting. My sister was also longing to adopt kitten. I went ahead and replied to the advertisement, informing of my interest and left my contact number for the person to get in touch with me. Subsequently, I received a WhatsApp message from +667686846 asking about my interest. She introduced herself as Natasha and she is 39 years old. She told me that is no longer staying in Singapore and now moved to Thailand with her kittens. She gave me some details of her kitten. She asked my details, what I am doing, my family status, what I was working. She said that she is giving her kitten for free and she is unable to take care of them. She sent me some of her photos of her kittens. When I asked her a video, she denied to sent me. She said that the kitten will receive in Singapore in 5 to 6 hours and I must pay the transportation fee which is SGD250. I said it was too expensive. She said she will help me pay SGD100 for the reservation and I pay SGD150 for the transportation fee. I agreed to her idea. Once I received the kitten I must return her back SGD100. However, when I asked for the name of the Singapore agency, she refused to give me the name that was dealing with transport of the kitten. After she paid the reservation fee, the agency located in Thailand, sent me the email copy of the invoice. I also received a call from +66967277350 claiming to be the agency and when I questioned him asking is they had a branch, he replied "yes", but refused to give me the name of the Singapore agency. and consistently told me to keep transferring the money through the Western Union stated on the invoice. He also said that that very night the kitten will be staying in the office, he gave me time until next day morning to transfer the money. I persistently asked the kitten seller to tell me the company that is dealing. She said at first was Global Pets Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) and then she says is Yappy Global pets Pte Ltd (Singapore). I made a call to the both companies, both replied there no such services they provide. When I could not locate the companies of the Thailand and Singapore agency, I found it suspicious and then realised that it was a possible scam. However, I did not make any cash transfer through western union. She was trying to call me continuously for around 3 to 4 days and asking for the payment. On Friday, 17 Feb 2017, I replied to her messages with "hahahahaha". She replied me back asking "why i laugh". She informed me she was indeed a scammer. She said she will use my WhatsApp profile picture to scam other people. She even changed her profile picture to my picture. I quickly lodged a complaint to the nearest police station and blocked the kitten seller in Whatsapp.
