Hi, I almost fell for this scam. They are going by Maria-Doll Maine C o o n s. Agree with what everybody above has said. They (never gave me a name, said husband and I), said that out of everyone who was trying to get BoBo, they picked me. The wording in the email was slightly off. I live in California, they told me Landing, New Jersey and all that it would cost me was $600 total which included shipping. They sent me 5 pictures and a video. They wanted all my shipping information and then once I provided that to them, they would tell me how they wanted payment. Thank you to everyone else that reported this, otherwise I would have been scammed.

I received the same except the name given is lady K Maine C o o n out of NJ which there is no information anywhere for this name. I wish I'd have found this website before I 1/2 fell for this. I don't have faith I'll recoup anything, but I did report to the FBI as suggested by someone here by filling out an IC3 Complaint Referral from the best of my ability and saved all email communication.

I just hope that somehow, someway they are found and stopped.

Here is their reply to me:
Hi Kristin, Sorry for the delay in responding back due to the bad network around here, Well I must say my husband and I are very impressed by your response to the questions and knowing our kitten is going into a home that has experience with cats already makes me feel so very relieved, I have no doubt the baby will be well cared for, So after a keen thought and consideration, We have found your home the best for Bobo, The baby will be coming alongside a small booklet that will provide you with more information on taking good care of the kitten and the baby also comes with the following:

# Playing toys
# A kitten kit starter.
# And a hand guide that will help you on basics of taking good care of the baby

#All kittens come with 15 days 100% money-back guarantee. This means that within 15 days of buying this kitten from us, you can return the kitten for a reasonable reason for a replacement or get a full refund back...

Actually, we are located here in Landing, NJ and I know our locations may vary, which is not a problem as we can always arrange for safe transportation of the kitten to you soonest today or whenever you want since it's just within some few hours of direct domestic interstate flight from NJ to Antelope, CA, also you have nothing to worry as shipping through is Safe, No stress and Hassle-free, We have two delivery options, "DOORSTEP DELIVERY" OR "PICK UP AT THE AIRPORT", So if you wish to do pick up of your kitten at your home airport upon arrival, then you will need to provide your information below leaving out your home address, But if you want your kitten to be delivered directly at your doorsteps, then you will have to provide the complete info as requested below:

Your Full Names...

Once I received your complete shipping information, I shall, in turn, provide you with details on how payment will be done so as to proceed at once getting the transfer ownership paperwork done to your names and also pay for the shipping fee of your kitten at the courier service, This process can only take me about an hour or two after which the courier service will also contact you with the full Flight Details and a Tracking Number so you will know the exact departure time from here and schedule time of arrival at your location airport as well as home delivery time because you will need to be at home to sign the papers and collect the kitten,

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I don't want to breed him. I would get him neutered. Also, I could take him at any time. I have a cat box, toys, scratch posts, beds, a cat tree. I would just need to go buy kitten food. I won't buy kitten food until I speak to you because I don't want to change what he is eating now.

-Do you have a vet clinic in your area?
-Does your environment accept pets?
-How soon do you need him?

We are sorry for the questions, it's just that we prefer a caring family, as the answers would help us to know if your home would be the best place for him as all we need is just a new loving and caring home for the baby.

We would also like to let you know that we do NOT place any of our kittens in homes that will practice unprofessional breeding for Money making with little or no love and caregiving to them. All our kittens are re-homed for PET PURPOSES ONLY. So as long as you can make us understand that you will share the love in your home with the kitten, we will consider placing our kitten in your home.

Best Regards..
Paul & Maria...
God Bless You...

Well, it's mid-September 2021, and they are NOT shut down. As someone below-mentioned, I found “Leo” at “Maria-Doll M a i n e C o o n Cats” and received a “God Bless” email of my own. I had a feeling from the get-go…again, “if it sounds too good to be true,…it is!” Why don't they get shut down FOR GOOD? Waiting to see if they respond to MY questions, ha! KARMA…people! :(

We sent them $500 for Larry and then and additional $100 which was the balance due which included shipping. After they received the money, that was the last we heard from them. We are working with Zelle and our local police department to try to stop these frauds. DO NOT DEAL with Big Tails Maine C o o n Cat Kittens.

Hi People, it is August 16 and they are still rolling their spiel... they are still online and scamming. We also fell for their beautiful kittens. When you pay attention you see that there is absolutely no contact information available. Nothing. It is a one way street. They will contact you much later with the excuse of bad 'internet connections'.

I have the pictures and video of BOBO and when I suggested to pick him up in Landing New Jersey, it became very quiet. I offered to bring cash over to them ... and there it was... nothing... no response. Yes, they are the lowest of the low, using very kind language, respectful and ending their email with 'god bless'. Guess what , if it sounds to good to be true it often is... My husband is an ex marine and is very upset about this. He knows people and I think he has found a new Project... He will see them soon.

My husband and I were ready to send money for Bobo today. They are going by the name Big Tail Maine [censored] Kittens. They're still selling for $400 and the emails and information are the same as everyone else says.
They offered to ship Bobo same day. I signed up for their email updates and received an email from Buffy Maine C o o n Kittens and started doing some digging.
We have the Bobo video and extra pictures. Our hearts are broken! These are terrible people!

Well I’m glad I found this, I got the same email stating everything that was mentioned by the prior victims, except the business name is now Buffy Main C o o n Kittens but same exact number. I answered the questions but after I didn’t feel right about it so that’s when I googled the number and found this site. It’s a shame cause we really loved Tobi. It was stated that they was half price and he was going for $400 which I knew it was too good to be true.

I received the exact same email but for Bobo.

Same thing happened with me regarding Bobo I sent the email everything the person before me went through I did too. Fortunately I told him that I was going to make a deposit of 300.00 and once Bobo was delivered at my house I would pay the rest of the payment. The man that I spoke with has an English accent very polite and assured me that I would get Bobo the next morning this just happened in June, 08, 2021 and I transferred to the name of Breonna Chris email is ( breglobe123gmail.com ) they sent me a certificate of ownership for Bobo and after that they disconnected the phone number that they were calling me from ( 908) 638-1858. I wish I could provide Bobo’s pictures but I was so heartbroken that I deleted all his pictures.

Is this the Bobo you are referring to? I am so happy I just found this site. My heart is broken too. I was just about to purchase “Finn” the all gray kitty, and “Bobo” together when something just didn’t feel right. I am so sorry. They are going by the website https://purecoonscattery.com/ and phone number +1 (609) 710-1418. After I noticed the red flags I did some searching.. found out their website was made on 4/7/2023… and in Arizona.. it is so disappointing that these things happen. I asked for proof of health records, vaccines and certificate and that is when he got irritated in his tone which caused my to look online and I found this. I am heartbroken for all of us.

My emails match all of the ones above. Word for word. It’s definitely the same person!

I made contact with these people on 7/3 regarding Bobo. Got a text that said to read my email. Same as above, questions about my precise location and if I was able to care for cat. I have them brief overview and asked for their precise location since it was nowhere on their website.

Another email from them arrived that said after much thought and consideration they had decided I could purchase Bobo. They included 4 or 5 additional photos of him. Also stated they were in NJ

I asked for a video of him and got it. I asked for pics of his parents and got that too. I then asked for copy of their breeders license. No response. On 7/4. I asked again for copy of breeders license. No response.

7/5 their website down. I sincerely hope they have been stopped from scamming people.

Thank you so very much. I almost fell for this scam. I was ready to pay today but just read your warning. What makes people so wicked? Some persons are part snake as the scriptures state. If they put the same energy in finding a respectable job they would make for great workers but no being a sneaky snake makes them so much happier because they are snakes. Again, thank you so very much. Be certain to inform the police. I attached a photo of the two I fell for. They are perfect in every way.

Fri, 18 Jun 2021-Submitted online form expressing interest in purchasing a 10 to 11 week old Maine [censored] kitten named Bobo.

Sat, 19 Jun 2021-Received a text: “Hi ****, Popcorn Maine [censored] Kittens Home here texting you in regard to your interest in one of our kittens (Bobo) we sent to you an email with more details, pictures and some few questions we will like you to answer, please do check your email and get back to us via email with your responses so we can proceed. Thank you...”. Received lengthy email which included theses questions: Where are precisely are you located? Have you ever raised or owned cat before? Do you have a vet clinic in your area? Does your environment except pets? How soon do you need him? Replied with answers, they provided a delayed response thanking me and asking my preferred delivery method (doorstep or airport) and asked for my full name, for home address (if using doorstep delivery), contact numbers and nearest airport. They said once they receive this info they would give me details on payment and transfer ownership paperwork. This email also said they were located in NJ so flights should be easy and they provided a video of Bobo. I provided names and airport info, to which they responded with payment info “all my customers pay with Zelle.” They asked if I had it, if not it was easy to download and let them know once I had downloaded it. Once I told them that they responded: “Ok, Our Zelle Email Is [email protected] Name: Nivia Kirsten, Memo : BOBO, Make sure you put the reason as FOR BOBO if ask REASON or MEMO so we know it is from you, So you will be sending $600. once you are done send me a screenshot showing SENT or COMPLETED”. I transferred the money and sent a screenshot. They responded: “we got the payment, So now I just need to round up with some few stuff and go get the transfer of ownership paperwork done and also send you a copy to sign and send back to me a signed copy so I can book a reservation for tomorrow morning, I will keep you posted with a copy once am done okay”. They sent a “transfer of ownership” certificate, which I signed and sent back.

Sun, 20 Jun 2021-I sent an email and text around noon to confirm they’d received my previous email with the “paperwork”. They responded via email: “Good Day ****, Sorry for the late reply as it’s been a very hectic for us at the airport, just wanted to inform you that we couldn’t get a flight today, so Bobo will be delivered only tomorrow Monday”. I asked for the flight itinerary and they said: “I will send it to you tomorrow morning.” I sent an email later that I noticed Bobo was still listed as available on their website and when he would be taken down so no one else would fall for him like we did. No response to that email. My daughter submitted an online inquiring about Bobo.

Mon, 21 Jun 2021-I received: “Good Morning ****, I’m done with the registration and everything, So the delivery service will contact you anytime from now via email for you to confirm your delivery information so they can proceed, so always put an eye on your emails so as to get the delivery notification email the delivery service and also email them back to confirm your delivery information so they can proceed okay, also don’t forget to keep me posted once Bobo is delivered okay”. I thanked for info and asked for flight itinerary again. No response yet to that email. My daughter received an email and text today saying that Bobo was still available.

Also, the address they provided is a house that is listed for sale. Additionally the name on the “ownership transfer paperwork” was Kristen, not Kirsten like in email traffic.

I filed a complaint with the FBI. They asked me to share with everyone that I know to be a victim of this scam from these people. They asked me to ask you all to file your story as a complaint at www.ic3.gov so that way they know how far the reach is for victims of these people.

I was just scammed out of $600 for Jack. They are now going by Bigmamamainecoonkittens.com. I got the same emails as everyone prior to me. I was even contacted by the supposed shipping company. I have contacted my credit card company. However, I noticed on my PayPal receipt that the money went to someone by the name of Dustin Blalock. I researched him through various methods. I found out that he has a lengthy criminal history to include robbery, burglary, felon in possession of a gun, drug charges, forgery, forgery of a financial instrument, and the list goes on. It shows that he lives in Texas. And it just so happens that the "shipping" company is also in Texas. The shipping company did send me a "tracking" number but it went through their website. It didn't list what airline, which airport, any identifying info. Their website is a joke. The social media button links just go to their main website instead of to Facebook, Instagram, etc. I am about to contact the FBI. I would think that they would be the ones to handle this being that it is through the internet, victims in various states, etc.

What was the end result of this exchange?
