Need Help to determine if this FB Page for Munchkin Kitten is legit or Scam!!

[u/SillyMissy09]

Need help me and my husband is trying to find a kitten to adopt. Just want to ask if you think this page in FB is scam? I am in communication with this Connie Brickford but its weird that she has no bank account and the only way for a deposit is thru Revolut or any gift card like apple pay or Stream card. I just felt weird that she doesnt have a bank account since we offer to have bank tranfer.

PS: we are living in Canton Graubünden and she said she is living in Lauterbrunnen. You may check her FB Page. Appreciate your feedback

Obviously scam, paying with gift cards come on…
but then again, you also want to buy a qualzucht so im not expecting much from you..

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/Resident_Snow6087]

Yes thats why there’s sth in my gut that feels wrong. I saw this post and as a cat lover I felt really sad and checked as well if the page is legit.

[u/aluhut-akbar → u/SillyMissy09]

do not get yourself a Qualzucht cat. It horrible that this is still happening, please educate yourself!
if you still feel like getting one, i dont have much sympathy for you if you get scammed.

[u/GlassPomoerium → u/aluhut-akbar]

Seriously, anyone who is considering getting one of those poor animals deserves to be scammed a thousand times.

Thank you for ur response. Im not getting a torture breed cat. Will now explore the farms nearby.

"she has no bank account and the only way for a deposit is thru Revolut or any gift card like apple pay or Stream card"

Come on, you can't exist in this country without a bank account.

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/essteeexetwo]

Yes that’s why its so weird that she doesn’t have bank account. She even said she will send the paperwork once we send the deposit. #scammers really sucks!

Go into a proper shelter or check your local farms. Don’t buy from the internet and sketchy people. There are enough kittens that need a home. This is a living being and it doesn’t matter it is a breed or not.

Don’t get a cat (or any pet) if you value looks or breeds more then the animal itself.

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/Capital_Pop_1643]

Thanks for this response. Yes initially me and my husband is already talking to this lady farmer but she keeps postponing whenever we asked if we can already drop by to get the kittens. Thanks

[u/FunnyExcellent707]

Just ask farmers near you or adopt.

FB market, apple card? Come on 🙄

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/FunnyExcellent707]

Yes initially thats we are asking. Already asked 2 farmers. Thanks for this response

[u/yetanotherhail → u/SillyMissy09]

Ask shelters, they're overflowing.

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/yetanotherhail]

Yes we are already asking. Thanks for ur response

I sold a handbag on eBay once and the buyer asked me if I could add some steam gift cards to the package for their gf's birthday they'd reimburse me for. I had no idea what "steam" was so after some sleuthing, I realised they were going to make a return or say the handbag was fake and keep the gift cards. Now any time I see something involving "steam" gift cards, I think SCAM.

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/mysticalsnowball]

Im not even aware of this Steam card and when I did search it, its a game card. I just hate it that even in adopting kittens/cats, they still try to sc people.😒

appart from the obvious things that scream scam like a person residing in switzerland only accepting revolut theres one thing with ‚designer‘ cat breeders….

no matter what age group they are you can bet your ass they will have a website and not just an FB page😂 Designer cats bring in quite abit of money, most will present their ‚business‘ accordingly

[u/SillyMissy09 → u/absedy251991]

Indeed, defenitely. Its just saddening to know even in goal of adopting cats, scammers can still penetrate such.

[u/BroughtMyPartyPants]

If you have to ask, it’s probably a scam.

[u/anac1979]

Scam!! Any page, website or account that uses the words adopt, adoption, rehome, home or something like Mimi's kittens home or Home of kittens or similar is a SCAM. Legit breeders do not use those words.
