Pet scam criminals often use free websites, CraigsList, local online groups, or Facebook to advertise pets that do not exist. Expensive animals, like Bengal cats, are offered at incredibly low prices. Animals are offered up for adoption at no cost—all you must do is pay for the shipping. If you see an ad like this, chances are it is a scam. These scammers are criminals. Their goal is to take your money. They will lie, they will tell you sob stories, they will send you picture

Warning signs you may be dealing with a disreputable, unethical or irresponsible breeder...

It only took Karla Russell a few hours to know she had been scammed. Her daughter picked out a kitten online. Her name was Bella.

Do you have allergies? You still have a chance at bringing home a Bengal cat without problems.

Your breeder should answer YES to each question: 1. Does your breeder allow you to visit the cattery - and not meet you somewhere?
