To Larry-(Me, the Scam list owner)
I am dealing with a serval breeder in England and
have a bad feeling I am being scammed so I reasearched
scams online. I came across a dr. zoo little who
posted numerous scams. I wanted to email him and ask about the people I am
dealing with at this time. So I googled dr. zoo
little and the only email address I can locate is yours. By any chance would
you know who he is or how I can check these people out? Thank you!

After my response, US Carrie sent me this:
I appreciate your help, and she
just sent me more pictures which I attached to this
email. Have you ever heard of them? What is the approximate cost to ship a
kitten from england to chicago.
She is telling me she lives in England, however when I did a reverse email look
up one place said Mchenry, IL. Unfortunately
asking to come see them is not an option due to the fact she states they are in
England. Thanks again for all your help, are you able to add them to your list
of scams?

Do you a website that tells me
more about your servals? I do have many questions and
I realize there is a difference in our time zone, I live in Chicago. Have you
been breeding servals for awhile, were they bottle
fed, how do I pay you, when will they be ready to be shipped, have they had any
vaccinations, do you know approximately how long the flight would be from
England to Chicago? Hope you do not mind all my questions, however I am sure I
will have more. I look forward to hearing from you. Take care! Carrie

From Susan Scammer
Hello,
Your
question are very much welcome. that shows the love
and concern you have for our animals. We are working on our website now. This is our 2RD litters. They where bottle fed.The flight will take about 7
hours to get to you. Our babies are very much ready to go to thier new homes. This is the right ime
to own a serval as you will really enjoy the love from them.
We will take payment through westernunion.If
you are ok,we will need your address to make a
contract form and we proceed to
payment and shipment.
thanks again Susan
(Scammers
typically use Western Union because there is NO recourse or anyway to get money
back.)
From US Carrie
Thank you for your quick reply is it possible for me to get a couple more
pictures? Is the $900 in USD, my fiance is terribly
concerned about me purchasing from England, without being able to see them and
also the exchange of money. Would you ship to our main airport Ohare? Are they pure bred servals and do you own the mom & dad? If you could get
me more pictures and also let me know in pictures whether it is a male or
female that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Carrie
Hello, We see no reason why we should not give you our serval kittens. This not even the first time we are shipping to USA. This is the 3RD time. Here are more pictures again. We will have to sign a contract me and you . that is an agreement. Many people will not just show thier breeder serval just like. we use them for shows. We think the people we have sold them kittens in the USA, will highly colour our names.If you are thinking of getting a serval kitten, consider yourself an onwer of one. Cheers Susan
Hello Carrie, $900 is US.We will ship to your main airport then you collect her from there. Are you taking the male or female? Cheers Susan
To Susan Scammer: Sorry but pictures are extremely distorted can you send me more pictures of kitten 008? Also what company do you use to ship kittens?
From Susan Scammer:
Hello, Here are pictures again. Hope you will pls with this. Cheers

Not sure why I did not notice it sooner. However, the phone number listed for Major Lee when I did reverse address check, is the same phone number just different area code. One is AC 301 and the other is AC is 253.
I called both the 253# (the one being given for references) is NO LONGER IN SERVICE, the 301# I left a message and gave them my # asking them to call me back regarding kitten they just recently purchased. I definitely know now I was being scammed!

I am going to attempt to contact Major Lee later today, and will keep you posted on what I find out.
I did call back the (425) 493-3283 number and I left a message giving my phone number. I just received a return call and the guy had a very strange accent possibly Jamaican but I am not sure. He was extremely rude and said yes I bought a kitten what do you want to know, I said I thought it was a female who bought the kitten? He said it was and what do you want, he kept asking where I was calling from, told him that was not necessary for him to know then I told him I did not like the way the call was going and he was of no use to me and I hung up. He has called me back twice and I finally picked up the second time and told him not to call me again told him I am no longer interested in purchasing a kitten from that breeder. I asked the name of the breeder he purchased from and he stuttered and said just a breeder in England. There references are not even good ones, I do not think they expect people to really call them. I am anxious to know however if Major Lee is aware that his address has been given as a reference, I will not mention that when I make the call I am just going to try and feel the situation out. I look forward to talking to you soon, hope you are having a great day!!
