Complaint 300577 Details

I went online to search for kittens for adoption when I found the website 'kittensforadoption.co.uk'. I clicked on an add for a bengal kittens which seemed to be genuine, until I started emailing the owner. She gave me the reason why she was given the kittens away (her son is ill) I felt sympathy for her and she first of all asked me questions on how I would provide care for the kittens which seemed genuine.I found out that she was not located in Cambridge which she declared on her advert and was however located in Kirkwall, Scotland. She then asked for my name, full address and contact details as she was going to set up a delivery for the kittens to reach us and charge us £140 for the delivery. This was going to be done as soon as I gave her all the information she needed. After her email I instantly became suspicious and ended it there. Every other add I have had on the site has been exactly the same and the pictures have been re-used. I believe the whole site to be a scam and feel that it should be taken down before innocent people fall for the scams.
I have a few emails that I have come in contact with. I hope it helps.

to me
Hiya,
Thanks for getting back to me with an answer to my
questions. the male is willy and the female is Cindy. these kittens are
very playful and loves
much attention and to be pampered,it is respectful,12 weeks old,vet
checked,de wormed,micro chipped and has all vaccines up til
date,playful and loves to take naps,comforted and walks
around the house.We are in Kirkwall. Scotland and since you are far from
our present location,i shall arrange for a home delivery using a
nearby delivery agency in charge
of pet transportation and which is closest to our home and you will
just have to pay for the delivery of the kitten to your doorstep since
we are more interested in a caring and loving home for the kitten
than the money to be paid on it for its purchase.To arrange for the
delivery,i will like to have your full contact details in this order;

FULL NAMES...........
HOUSE ADDRESS.........
CITY............
POST CODE...........
MOBILE NUMBER..........
LAND LINE NUMBER.........
EMAIL ADDRESS...........

AS soon as you provide me with the above details,i will quickly
prepare the change of ownership documents and arrange for a home
delivery to your door. you will be paying the sum of £80 for one &
£140 for both kittens to the
delivery agency directly and not me because we are in search of lovely
homes ,so this money you will have to pay will be for the delivery of
the kitten to your home ok.I will also send all paperwork including
details of Current vaccinations, Veterinarian examination, Health
certificate, Health guarantee, Pedigree, Travel
crate ,Micro-Chipped (In case ever lost or stolen ) and all other
health certificate at my disposal,their blankets and crate and some
