My family has been searching for a bengal kitten for a family pet. I found the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen on the https://fine-bengalkittens.com/. I search the ScamPulse.com as well as other areas on-line to see if this website had been reported and from what I could tell I believed it was a legitimate place. I had several conversations with a man by the name of Bitange Weltron. Everything is said made sense or so I thought at the time. I sent the money and he sent me a contract. He told me the kitten would be delivered the following day. He even called me this morning at 6 am to tell me that he had taken the kitten to Superior Delivery to be transported to me today. This was all a lie. Later on today i received a call from the transport company and I swear I think it was even the same guy telling me that the seller did not leave the kitten in the proper crate and could I contact him and have him get in touch with them because they could not transport her until the seller brought the correct type of crate. No he does not answer his phone. This man spent a lot of time talking to me on the phone and even talked about coming here to visit because I work at NASA and he was very interested in getting a tour. I feel for it hook line and sinker. I contacted the bank and there is really nothing that can be done since i sent the money. This is not considered fraud to the bank it is considered a scam so no refund. I thought because I sent the money through my bank (Zelle) that I would be protected but I am not. The thing that makes me the most upset is that every time the ring doorbell went off this morning the kids would run to the door screaming their kitten is here. The scammer Bitange Weltron emailed me from 2 different emails [email protected] and [email protected] There was also 2 phone numbers 407-253-0859 which is the number he would call me from and I would call him. The number for Superior Delivery that called me regarding having an improper crate is 716-413-2031. There is a Superior Delivery service in both Houston and Georgia but I think the scammer is just using their name as far as I can tell. I know people think how could you fall for this and I think that as well now but at the time it while I was talking with him he somehow gained my trust which makes me even more sick to my stomach because how does one person do that do another. He heard my excitement and knew my children were so excited. Even after he got my money he continued to contact me I guess that is what I just can’t get my head wrapped around is why? You already had my money why did you have to keep on?
