worthless material. they refused. I have emails going back and forth.
When I got of work
When I got there to the house everything looked legit
We sat in our cars waiting on his pretend wife or girlfriend bc he said she had the key to the house
As we stood outside his phone died
He asked to use my phone to call her to see how far she was with the key to the house
He takes a couple of steps away to give him enough time to unlink my card from my cash app
He linked his card took my 300$
Then he unlinked his card walks back with my phone
Tells me can schedule for another day bc it was starting to get late and her apologies for being unorganized
He pulls out a ring of keys with addresses tags on them
So of course it all looks legit
By time I tried buying groceries I couldn’t bc my card said decline
When I looked through my cashapp history my money was gone
The time and date was stamped bc I didn’t use my card the Sunday before last Sunday
I put two and two together it was him
I reported him to the police as well
Based on my review of the group, and especially that linking to the names fake moderators and fake positive reviwerers' other groups, I believe the person(s) behind this scam are also operating other Facebook group scams involving dogs.
The following is a copy of part of my Facebook Messenger text conversation with Dawn who was scammed of $1000. It has some specific details which may assist you. ...
"That is horrible. I would not trust any of them either. I am a (now) mostly retired independent insurance adjuster and one of the things I am really good at is investigation. Here are some of my observations, based on my FB messenger chats with "Sandy Cross", review of the verbiage she used in the chats, and analysis of the sites' FB photos and videos, of her private FB Messenger chat with me, and review and comparison of some of the other admins' posts, and review of the posts and FB profiles of people who have supposedly transacted with this group & posted positive testimonials on their website.
1. The persona behind Sandy Cross has hints of English as a second language. Her/his verbiagr matches up with exact same verbiage supposedly uttered by some of the other admins in the group. As such these may be made up profiles and one person may be behind them.
2. They may be based in Nigeria or Cameron in Africa.
3. I think they are operating some sort of Facebook Scammer ring that may be linked to other pet selling FB scams too (dogs).
...
Some specifics:
1. one of the FB Messenger kitten photos she texted me had the same physical background features as another one of the admins photos of a kitten.
2. Despite my inquiries, she would not tell me where she was located until I revealed where I was.
3. When I asked her for her business name, she sent me a vet clinic's card from TN that did not have her or her supposed husband/significant other's name on it, but she explained she had just moved to Wilmington NC.
2. When I asked her for her phone number so we could talk, she said they did not yet have a phone ( so how then, was she communicating with me, by computer??)
3. When I checked out online the street address she gave me in Wilmington NC, it matches a house for sale. Ok, maybe they are temporarily renting, but it's a very nice home and if one can afford that, one would have a cell phone). Plus the home's for sale photos show a completely vacant home with room colors totally in a different color than the video of a woman with cats, and a child she sent me.
4. The customer testimonials... most are worded a bit like people speak English as a 2nd language. Most of their profiles are hidden, but some of their group likes aee not... some of these seem to be centered in Nigeria or Cameron. One photo of a woman holding her new cat looks to have a European city look and background street sign of type not used in USA.
5. I live in Charleston SC 4 hours away from Wilmington NC. When I asked about meeting "Sandy Cross" in between, she immediately offered to deliver the cat to me the next day for another $150 the next day (today). 6. She gave me payment options... the kitten was $450. $200 was required as a down payment, all through options that would provide buyer with no protection. With delivery I would need to pay $350. I choose PayPal. But she said they only would accept the 'Friends and Family' option. I told her that would give me no protection, and offered to pay an extra $50 to help with taxes. She declined.
... My intuition by that time led me to tell her I would sleep on it. I did not send money.
... Then I saw your comment, and I reported the group to Facebook last night. FB reporting has very limited options. I would love to help the FBI. I would appreciate knowing who you reported your theft to and I will send them my observations. You are very welcome to send my chat to them as well.
If you need to reach me by phone, my number is 843-xxxx.
Ver sorry they took advantage of you! Let's help stop them. ..."
