On 08/02/2024 Sphynx Kittens
for Adoption came to the attention of BBB. At that time a consumer submitted a Scam
Tracker report to BBB regarding a listed Facebook Page mentioning “Sphynx
Kittens for adoption”. The consumer stated “A woman, Carol Connie, stated cats
would be available in 4 weeks, and asked for a $250 down deposit and drew up a
contract”. The consumer also mentioned verifying with the “admin” of the sites
and was told the business was an accredited seller with no issues. Funds for
purchase were sent via PayPal as “person/family” per request of the business in
an attempt to avoid having to claim the purchase. The consumer received
pictures during the waiting period and was to meet the business halfway for
delivery. Once the delivery time came, the business mentioned being sick and
deciding to follow through with the delivery via a transport company called “Succex
Delivery”. The business provided a tracking number and then the consumer was
contacted by the transport company via email. The transport company requested
an additional $600.00 via Cash App to secure delivery that would be refunded.
When the consumer contacted Sphynx Kittens for Adoption regarding this issue, the business said
they would pay half and the consumer declined. After declining to pay the
additional funds, Sphynx Kittens for Adoption stopped responding. The consumer
