Report Purecoon Request

I want to have a partner who can accompany me in my life. I paid 3000+ for kitten prices, breeding rights prices, shipping, and other unreasonable extras. I am so cat-loving and so deceived. I told them I once had a cat that lost her in an accidental murder. My neighbor who is also a classmate I know killed my cat and cheated on me for a long time. When I watch my kitten lay dying in an aerobic chamber and need medical support equipment to survive, I want to go to heaven with her. It took me two years to come out of depression. It's not just a student spending months living expenses trying to get a life partner, but it is about these people betraying my love for cats and the world. I hope this liar named Benny Berger gets caught by the police and goes to jail! ! Benny Berger, or should I call you Jayla Banks, maybe Kylie Knapp?

We attempted to purchase two kittens online from https://purricoon.com/, which seemed to originate in Duluth, Minnesota. We were in contact for a couple of days with Odilia and Benny, asking questions etc, and decided to move forward. They sent us recipes for cat food, information on what collar size to get, and seemed like people who actually breed cats. We have not at this point verified that they have TICA certificate or if they were Registered Maine C o o n Breeders.
We purchased (paid) for 2 kittens, and we tried a few times with an eTransfer, but it was rejected each time (originally scammers asked that we use Zelle or CashApp). They gave us a new email address, and we tried that one, and it worked, so we sent payment for the two cats. This was Monday, May 23, 2022 in the late evening. "Ordering two cats means free shipping" they said. They said the cats would arrive by courier the next day. We were a bit surprised, but didn't think further.
The day of the proposed delivery (today), my wife receive a text message from this number 1-302- 336-0865 and a man named Benny, saying that he has been trying to get in touch with us by email but that we have not responded. He then told us that there is an email from the Jet Air Cargo sent to us and that we need to reply asap. The email said the courier company needed us to purchase insurance for each cat, including a vet exam, most of which would be refundable once the cats were delivered safely. I protested a few times since that didn't make much sense, but was too busy at work to pay much attention, and I was just trying to get through it. Plus my daughter had her heart set on the cats, so I just paid it in two more etransfers.
My wife and I started feeling like something wasn't right (grammar mistakes and text replies which were confusing and also asking me to borrow money from a friend), so she googled the website address and the word "scam" – and as it turns out this is a scam site. Although we already know this is a fake, we are still in touch with them and asking them when the kittens will arrive. This hopefully will give our bank a chance to get in touch with the perpetrator's bank before they close their account, and hopefully get our money back.
As of today, a new notification from Jet AirCargo arrived stating that the kittens need COVID vaccinations and as you guessed it, we need to pay more money. We have not let them know yet, that we know this is a scam, and we keep getting updates indicating that the cats will be arriving tomorrow. They are no doubt going to come up with some scheme to try to get more money from us with some other "problem" they will report tomorrow when the cats are supposed to be delivered. We have contacted both banks about the transfer, but they indicated that there was nothing they could do to reverse it since it was already accepted. The second bank, on the other hand, opened up an investigation and will try to get the funds back somehow within 5-10 business days.
In terms of what I know about them, other than the website address above, I have the following phone number that they used that I'm texting with currently: +1 (320) 336-0865. I also have some email addresses they used and originating address:

We have reported the incident to the Toronto Police Service as well, online. Not sure what to expect there.

My boyfriend and I were scammed for $1900 in an online purchase of 2 Maine [censored] kittens. She seemed legitimate, but wouldn’t talk with me on the phone, said she was at “work”. She sent pictures of the kittens as well as documentation of her cattery, which all turned out to be fraudulent. After sending the money through Zelle, the communication trickled down to almost nothing. This woman, or man, needs to be stopped.

My boyfriend and I were also scammed for $1900 for 2 kittens. We sent the money with Zelle, and then she told us she would get the paperwork out, that evening, I hadn’t gotten any paperwork, and I then knew we had been scammed. I am trying to figure out how to get her to stop this website.

I was trying to purchase a maine c o o n kitten from this website. I reached inquiring about purchasing a kitten. I was provided with a response asking me to provide information about myself to make sure I was a good fit for a kitten. I provided a response and this is where the contact became more vague. I received a response saying thank you for the positive response and I had been approved for the kitten. The price of the kitten was $950 plus $250 for shipping. I was advised the kitten would have a personal nanny travelling with the kitten. The price of the kitten seemed low and the price of the shipping seemed really low to be getting a nanny with the kitten's travel. The email also stated they only accept payment in the form of Cashapp, Zelle or Google Pay. None of these buying options offers buyer protection. I replied back to the email advising I was concerned with all the scams out there that I was worried of the legitimacy. I asked the seller to provide me with documentation proving they were legit and anything else they would advise. I received a response stating they have been dealing with this issue for a few years and not to worry they are 100% legit. They also provided attachments. I was advise the actual company name was Pure [censored] and that they were registered on tica.org. I was able to locate them under a cattery but I was able to locate the owner's name or the company name on the paperwork on tica.org under breeders. I was never provided with an address or a phone number. I replied to this email asking if I could do a video chat to see the kitten and also if they would accept Paypal who offers buyer protection. I also advised due to my concern if they couldn't do the above that I would travel to them to pick up and pay for the kitten in person. I never received another reply to my last email and this was 5 days ago. They were very active going back and forth until then.
