My sympathy to you, as these must be the same people that tried to scam me. The person named Louise, DID have an accent-oriental?-of some kind, but seemed kind. At least, until I pressed for an address, or phone number, then he got cranky. Very generous with pics-as you know--all stolen.This is definitely a scam, and I'm sorry to hear it. Luckily you did not send them money. The pricing for the F1's and F2's was an immediate giveaway, as well as a "breeder" referring to using a courier service to ship to you. I've never heard of any breeder using that terminology.
We were recently contacted by email and asked to send as many photos as we possibly can of any of our kittens, in very broken English I might add, along with other strange questions. After asking a couple of times for a telephone number from them where I could give them a call and them not providing me with one, also getting hostile for me not sending them the photos, I assumed they were likely trying to steal multiple photos to create scam ads also such as this..
) and I had no knowledge. Ignorance will get me in trouble-like it just did-but I had no idea of the price of any kittens at all.
Thank you for the reply. It was my first time looking for a savannah kitten and I didn't know any better--but I have sure learned a bunch in a hurry!The price is wrong also, very cheap, and the shipping cost also is very low.
So sorry you got scammed
The other litter mate was the same way someone else bought. This breeder didn't want to bottle feed them or socialize them with people. So the breeder suggested getting another F1, so all I can say was ok, we'll go that route since she didn't want to give me the money back. We waited month after month and still no communication with the breeder even when we called and left messages, so we thought we were scammed since she had the cat back and had our money.. Finally we decided to go through court to get our money back and we did! She didn't even show up in court when she was supposed to. We figured she was just dragging it out.It took about 10 months to go through the courts but we got our money back and of course she got stuck with court cost too!! We also found out she was hiding outside of town where she lived too!! So.....still today I'm looking for that special F1 friend that I want. I did see one I really liked but the price was higher than I thought it would be...I was heart broken. I'm afraid to ask if they will take less since it wasn't selling fast. you should check with ek exotics they might have what you are looking for...
Alice--I AM interested! This sounds like me...who do I talk to, please?
Alice, what is ek exotics? I wonder too if Savannah cat land has any male F1's around that price the female is!Ahhh... Gotcha! Well if you are patient you will probably find what you are looking for
