Internet predators target kind hearted cat lovers. Don’t fall prey to the latest attempts to steal your money.
The latest email in my inbox appears to be a cry for help. The writer’s poor, dear mother has passed away, leaving the only thing she loved in the world behind – her cats. These cats also have kittens, and all need to be found homes, as in the writer’s grief, they simply can’t care for the cats. The only thing that will heal their heart is finding the perfect homes for the kitties that their mother devoted her life to. So please, if you can help, all of these cats and kittens are being sold very cheaply, at a steal really. Won’t you help?
And of course, all of this is a lie. There were a dozen of these fraudulent emails in my inbox, sent from a variety of different email addresses. Correspondence with this lady again requests that perhaps I could just pay shipping for the kittens, in advance of course, and they’d be shipped straight to my door.
Reputable people do not send unsolicited emails requesting that you buy their kittens. Responsible people screen ALL perspective adoptive kitten parents and do not need to beg folks to take their kittens. Please beware and be safe! Identity theft stems from things like this, and you can never be too careful. Not to mention having your heart broken because you are waiting for a kitten that will never come.
