Hello ,
Thanks for the interest you have on our Bengal Kittens. They are 10 weeks old. 1 snow white spotted male and 1 brown spotted female ready to join new families. Open our website link below for pictures of available kittens and their parents. We raised our cats and kittens in our home and they are very obedient and use to people of all ages. they are all litter box trained, very sociable with children and dogs, they have fantastic personalities, loving, cuddly and are very healthy. Each kitten will come with all shots papers, a micro chipped registered into new owner's name with 2nd vaccination, FeLV / FIV Tested NEGATIVE papers including food & toys.
They are a big part of my family and it is my top priority to ensure that the kittens go to permanent loving homes. We will love to give the both on site to one family or home. Do you have any intentions to breed the Kitten or just for home companion? What other pets do you have, where are you located ? I'm asking $350 for each kitten that include shipping charges. We live in Philadelphia, Pa where i will be shipping the kitten's from and it will take approximately 5-6 hours for you to have your new kitten deliver to your home.
We're letting out the kittens due to personal problems with landlord. Let us know the name of kitten you will like to take home with you and i will get back to you with more information on shipping and delivery.

A request for payment via Money Gram for a pet is ALWAYS a scam.
Hello Rory, Below is my money gram information. It is easy sending the money in any money gram store. All you need to do is take the money to any nearest money gram location around you and ask for a senders form. You will be given a senders form to fill in your information, Names ,amount and where you are sending the money to as the sender, and my information below as the receiver. As soon as you are done, they will give you a scanned copy receipt with a reference number on it which shows that the money is sent . It's easy sending it in any money gram location around you.

Names: Richard B. Alvarez.
State/city: Philadelphia, PA.
Zip code: 19126.
Address: 226 66th Ave.

Send me the money gram reference number as soon as you are done. Do not give them any reason why you are sending the money so that you will not be charge with higher transfer charges. Just ask for a senders form and fill.

Richard.

Mike, looks like this guy is at it again using the name (s) Marcus Williams, email [email protected] and website http://cutebrowndspottedcatshome.jigsy.com/contact.
he emailed me the exact email you have below giving me the website (I knew he was fraud and I love
to get the info and shut them down) anyway, he claimed to live in Delaware. I told him I have an aunt
in town and will come get the kitten and pay cash! He refused stating he only ships them. I asked why
only ships and not take cash face to face. I asked if he had any objection to me running his info through
the TICA he claims to be registered with. haven't heard from him as yet. The address on the website does not
exist. there is a 789 Alder DRIVE not Street as he has. The phone prefix is a Georgia number. google the phone and see lots of ads across the US but using different names. They never stop--hope we can get the website closed down. I'm not sure how.

Do you all turn these people in? This makes me very mad and they need to be caught. He is still texting me. Lol.

From me
That seems cheap. Most I have seen are about 1000. Why so cheap?

From him
i want you to understand that all i really need for my kittens is a good and caring home, that is why i give them for that price, that is just the adoption fee, if i really want to sell the kittens i will give them for more better price just as you said, but am not really out for money,
so if you are ready to provide a good home for them let me know which of them you need so we can proceed,

Hello,
The scammer is most likely located in Western Africa so he is out of the reach of local US law enforcement. Since this thief has your real information I suggest that you stop all communication and just go silent. Do not even tell him that you know it is a scam.

The telephone number that he is using is a VoIP number so he could be located anywhere that has high speed internet service.
  by Goramscardinals
 
Ok. Will do. Thanks.

Makes me angry though.

So he just gets away with it and creates another fake page and tries to con more people?
  by Mike Wilson
 
Unfortunately, that is true. The only thing that we can do is expose them by posting the scripts, email address and telephone numbers.

James,


after my response...



Great to hear back from you soon . $500 is the total amount you will spend to have shipped Tony to your
Location, that is because shipping fee is $150, so the total to be paid is $500 . he is up to date with shots, vet checked and with a year health guaranteed. I'll be sending him along side updated health record and all papers will accompany the kitten to his new home. Tony is a well trained kitten and he involves in family activities and enjoy being near kids our dog as they go about their day, I think he will make a great addition into your home,I will be using Delta or Continental airline to ship the kitten, depending on airport and city you will be given to me . he will not be ship with baggage's, but will be in a pressurized crate and someone will be there to care for and look after him on and off the plane, he will leave with food and water during the flight. Send me your shipping information as shown below so i can take him to the airport for flight booking...

Closest airport to you:?
Receivers names:?
State/City:?
Zip code:?
Phone number:?
Home Address:?
Name of Kitten: Tony?

With the above information i will be able to register him on a flight to your location later today . As soon as i'm done
with flight registration, i will send you flight and arrival details, flight confirmation number and arrival time etc. so
you should know when and what time exactly to wait for his arrival. You will need to have a valid ID or drivers license,
before you can sign the receivers form to take home Tony after his arrival.
Thank you once again and looking forward to have the information.


"James" has a phone number with a Georgia area code, he claims to live in Delaware.. possible.

However on Facebook there is a cattery in georgia for bengal cats.
Some of the same pictures are shown there that James has on his website.

Here is the link to the facebook page of a seemingly totally different breeder

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009917654159

Both a scam, or just "James"?
