Do you reckon this is a scam....?

[admin]

I am sure that site does not care...it is just a site for ads and they don't check anything...your person is probably from out of the country...

 

[Rebecca Coy]

Yeah I guess so. Well thank you for the advice!.

$160 is very cheap for shipping as it is... and the English is not very good. And you never want to wait for another party to give you directions on how to make a payment.... scam!

 

[Medesha]

Yeah the... interesting form of English is enough of a red flag there, I think.

Thankfully you doubted it and came to ask here. Now you know what to look for in case you run into it again. Unfortunately there are a lot of scammers out there and the same red flag should come up in your mind if you come across anything like this:

1. How is their English?
2. Are they asking you to pay shipping only, or await further instructions after giving your address and information?
3. Are they able to give you updated pictures, or more pictures? Do they have a website?
4. Are they able to answer any questions about the kittens or do they seem to ignore or skip parts?

Now that you have ran into one it should be easy to spot all the other fakers out there too. Good luck with your search for a Savannah!
