and so depression ( a tiny bit-no Sony Walker) and a great big MAD!! You all have been a life-saver for me and I really do feel better, However, I would like some one to see these pictures--WHOSE are these cats ??
So here are some pics. and m,ore will be posted.
1-4 Sony Walker
5-7 Katie Litter mates
The first few are my F1 Nina, and the next few are my Katie, as Pam correctly guesses :)

NEITHER are for sale, nor were they sold to me for such a paltry sum, ROFL!

The first few (Tina) are actually Coco, who is Katie's last born female kitten (not for sale).
Then Katie (not for sale).
then Missy, my 53% F1 female (also not for sale).
7-8 Monte is actually Monkey, an earlier daughter of Katie (also not for sale)

The serval at the end I don't recognize.

Scams will always exist, as long as people are willing to suspend disbelief in the expectation of getting a bargain. The prices quoted to you for such cats should have been the biggest indicator. NONE of those cats were ever going to be for sale for the prices quoted. Knowing the market price is a big tool to knowing when a cat is just a bargain (priced just below what you might expect to pay) and a scam (way way below what you should pay).

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.. :cautious:
