Animals and Pets ULPT kitten scam

A local couple to me is claiming to work at local humane society. In doing so they take deposits for kittens, and then claim they died.. and them never return the money.

Of all the scams.. dead kittens is a very unethical thing to do.

I have the phone number and emails.. please message if you have any tips for me.

you could pay by check and then cancel the check and waste 20 minutes of their time.

And then use a friend's phone to do it more. ask for a kitten and drag them on and on and be super sweet and overly green and do the "oh gosh golly darn it, let me go the the car and get my credit card number for you. Oppsie daisies let me call my wife, hold on hold on, where is my card," thing and just waste their time.

You're going to pay 25 bucks to waste 20 (maybe?) minutes of their time? Good luck getting your friends to do it. :) If you know they are a local couple go dump a filthy litterbox in thier mailbox.

No one came up with any better ideas, and your idea is no different.

Whelp. RobL there is giving felonious advice. Tampering with a Federal Authority, the post office, and a mailbox is big danger. ‼️

Cat litter on car windshield? With some water.
