I responded to an ad for a 1 year old Maine Coon female on April 5. The person who listed her goes by the name bengal4life. I contacted her first through Hoobly, then some texts and phone calls. I decided to purchase the cat, and was planning to drive to OH to pick her up. Everything seemed fine, price was low, but she said it was her husband's cat and he had passed away suddenly, and it kinda hurt to see the cat around without him. Even sounded like she was about to cry. Given the circumstances, I believed her and could justify a lower price. She asked if I could pay through Zelle, so I did. She sent a request, and on April 5th, I sent $400 for payment, which was the full asking price. The next day she offered to meet me part ways, and then later she even offered to bring her the whole way if I paid for gas. SO I paid $80 on April 6th, to pay for gas. She was going to bring her that evening, but then she started making all kinds of excuses. Her car broke down, she needs to get it towed, then her car was fixed, but she couldn't get it out of the garage till she gets her next paycheck, then she would bring the cat. By this time I realized I had been scammed, and I respectfully asked her twice, through texts, to refund my money. I haven't heard another word from her. Now today she has listed the same cat again, at a higher price. I am still waiting for my money back.
