Mon, 15 Aug 2022 19:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Linda https://petscams.com/puppy-scammer-list/bengalfriendly-com/#comment-22279 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 19:59:45 +0000 https://wpswyft.local/puppy-scammer-list/bengalfriendly-com/#comment-22279 I fell for this scam on 8/14/22 and sent $750 for a bengal kitten and travel; then the fake travel company wanted an additional $1250.00 for a thermal crate; I refused to send more money; the travel company was UShip Pet with an email address of ushippet@mail.com. I got a phone call from someone who did not speak English very well saying he was from UShip and trying to convince me I needed to send the money for the thermal crate, he said if his company was not legitimate I could sue.

I got multiple texts from someone from the supposed Bengalfriendly company who called herself Cindy Tyrolt at 512-337-2245 insisting that I pay for the thermal crate so the poor kitty can leave the travel company and come to my place; she even said the bengal kitten would be delivered to my door. She also gave me another way to google pay: Kimjuliette1998@gmail.com and said she was Juliette Sirri; but the name came up as Tiara something….

Siri says the address is Colton CA; however, she said she was in Texas; other information that showed up was cindytyrolt@pilotdelivers.com and the number 909-835-4444; 1121

and 240-232-9282 for an apple pay account

These people are evil. When I sent a text telling her to not contact me again she sent a text back asking if I was a Christian. I sent her one final text telling her to not contact me again unless it was to make arrangements to return my money. I can’t believe I fell for this……my bad!!

This was in late May of 2021, so who knows if the scammer uses it still or not. Guy’s name was “Harry” and he had a strong middle eastern accent.

Very easy to tell if you read anything on the site. Misspellings, poor grammar and photos all from very obvious different sources, different backgrounds, all way too “magazine-quality” professional and obviously stolen from the internet. There was another scam site about a year or less ago called “HillsKittens” which I looked into (even called and got info from the guy.) I eventually realized that HillsKittens was bogus when the “references” he gave me — I was getting red flags already by the time I asked for phone numbers references and I *did* call each one — the references he gave me ALL had a recorded “Google Voice Verification” pre-recording…. Every one identical. I believe HillsKittens and this one being discussed, “BengalFriendly,” are the exact same person/scam artists. My advice: Buy local, go to see kittens in person first, and be sure you’re really dealing with a reputable breeder. I live in MI, and we ended up driving to Indiana to get our 2 bengal cats after doing lots of research.
