 We see people often on Facebook and other forums talking about how they were ripped off when buying a Bengal kitten so we spent some time recently looking at Bengal Ads on Craigslist, Hoobly, Go Kitty and other sites. It's amazing how many scammers are looking for unsuspecting Bengal Buyers.
This is NOT meant to be a negative comment about these sites as we are listed there too. Except for craigslist which does not allow breeder ads. Remember if it looks to good to be true, it almost certainly is. There is NO WAY you are going to get a Purebred Registered Bengal for only a few hundred dollars. Unless there are some serious issues or you are a VERY lucky person. A Bengal mixed with another breed is NOT a Bengal and almost certainly will not have the characteristics that make Bengals worth the extra cost. Be very careful when doing your Bengal buying homework. If you are looking for a REAL, Purebred, TICA Registered Bengal Kitten choose carefully. If you have had a Bengal before or know anyone who does, You will know that a Bengal is NOT like every other cat. They are a VERY different breed of cat. Ask for updated pictures and even better NEW / Fresh videos of the kittens and specifically the one you are looking at. Ask to Skype or Facetime with the sellers to see how the kittens live. This will give you an idea of the environment they are living in. Some kittens are raised 100% in cages and taken out only for the occasional picture showing them standing in grass or on a tree limb. ask to see where they live and spend their days and nights. Being caged all the time is not overly conducive to a well socialized new family member... WE NEVER cage our kittens and our Stud, Sharm Sascha of Bangalore is in our home with us. He doesn't spray or mark because he is in a loving home with TONS of attention. Ask if the Breeder is CFA or TICA registered and what their Registered Cattery name is... Ours is (Bengaltime) on both CFA and TICA. You can see these on the official CFA and TICA sites. Look at their facebook, Website and Youtube pages for FRESH pictures and videos. Below are our sites: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNP8nmW9urck7XIw3e6XLzQ Website - Registered Bengals: https://registeredbengals.com/index.html Anyone can grab a few pictures of Bengals online and say they are theirs... Remember "If it's not a Bengal, it's just a cat" We are Committed to Breeding Healthy, Happy, Well Socialized Companions And now you can experience the joy of owning one of these, Active, Affectionate, Beautiful Exotic Creatures. Looking forward to hearing from you! Registered Bengals / Bengaltime Cattery

I just wanted to inform you also there is a website called Roragen Kitten Cattery that is scamming people as well for bengal kittens. I found out first hand. I just wanted to let everyone else know and make sure no one else falls victim to them! I don’t know how to report the website so they can get caught and shut down. If you do please help me in getting them reported!!!!

Hi I've been going back and forth with Roragen cattery about a bengal kitten and have been suspicious for a while. If you don't mind would you explain how exactly were they trying to scam you? Mustafa, Roragen Cattery scammed be by having me pay for the bengal kitten through cash app. Could have done it western union because I was out of state so they were shipping me the kitten. Now I paid half upfront so the papers could be transferred into my name and pay for shipping. Well then a day later I’m getting suspicious emails from the shipping company and can only talk through email can’t call and talk to any one. They said I had to pay for a different crate for the kitten because the one it was sent in was not approved to ship the kitten. I contacted the person from roragen Cattery and they said they must have changed the rules because of the pandemic. Well I did research and found out that you can even buy a ticket or register an animal to be transported without the proper carrying crate. So I asked for my money back and they wouldn’t and I also contacted cash app and they wouldn’t refund it either.

They scam people by copying kitten photos from real breeders websites for their own website where they sell kittens that they don't even have. So people send them money for a kitten (plus sometimes more for delivery or shipping crates, etc) and they never get a kitten!

Yes, it's 100% a scam!!!
Fine Bengal Kittens changed their website to Glorious Bengals. They just tried to scam me as well. Their review are all from "fine Bengals" even though they're now Glorious. The reviews have the same sentence structure for each one, they asked me to use a cash app and offered free shipping for a $950 bengal kitten that totally looks like a Costa Rican wild ocelot kitten. Too bad it's a scam because I would pay $950 for that kitten registered or not lol
DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO PAWS AND TALES .. THIS GUY USES DIFFERENT NAMES DIFFERENT EMAILS TRIES TO GET YOU TO PAY TO A FAKE ZELLE ACOUNT CLAIMS HE LIVES IN COLORADO.. ANYTIME SOMEONE ASK YOU TO USE PAYPAL.. DO NOT PAY THEM AS A FRIEND OR FAMILY.. BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK ! Luckily for me I used a PayPal prepaid card attached to a PayPal account and I was protected ..
This is the website where was trying to buy some Bengal kitten. So the first warning was that the website didn't provide any name of the breeders. Ok, I guess. Well, I still decided to contact and get more information about kittens and that I'm ready to buy. However, the second warning was that the person was a misspelling and made a simple error that would be easy for an elementary kid to spell. The more I thought about it; I tried to see where it's located. And after research, I found that breeder located directly near a den or capital hill, which I can find ridiculous. So finally, when I called the person with a nigerian accent, I answer it, totally different from an advertised breeder on their website. The person first said that I would have to deposit 900$, then he switched and said $500 when the Bengal cat announced for $1,000 + $200 shipping fee. I then asked if he can give me an address so I can pick up the kitten and pay cash then. He said that without a deposit of $500, I wouldn't be able to come and pick it up. And even when I agree to $500, he still said that because of covid, I wouldn't pick up the kitten. So, he said that he would call me back, and that was it he never called back. So, I decided to confirm more and asked him to send another video because he sends me a previous video of some white lady touching the kitten. But he never responded. Thank you so much for the scam warning. My feelers went out when the Doloit Cattery got back to me and named a price of $1000 for a gorgeous kitten that is worth double. Somehow I end up here reading all the scam warnings. Thank you for sharing so others don't fall victim too. The email they sent me had pictures and videos of the kitten. They said they are located in Denver and I asked to see the available kitten and so far have not heard back since the initial contact this morning. The email header was Paws and Tails. The phone I was text from was 720-248-7265.

Forever Bengal is a scam I gave them the money and never received the cat. I'm going to report the website so it can be taking down. See what he says if you can pick it up 4/20/2021 07:13:40 am
100% scam. I'm another sucker that fell for this one. I paid $1300 and never received the cat. They sent additional pictures, an invoice for my payment (via Zelle), and supposedly "shipped" the cat via Worldwide Pet Movers (www.worldwidepetmovers.com). The shipping company said they could not ship the cat without me buying or renting an upgraded crate for $2000. When I told them no, they went silent and so did the seller. FYI... the cats listed on the website have been "12 weeks" for a long time. When my wife and daughter contacted them about Moana (same cat I tried to buy), they said the cat was still available even after they had sent me a receipt for my payment! They also claimed to be based in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, and California in separate conversations. SCAM SCAM SCAM... do not talk to them. 4/20/2021 12:07:42 pm
They guy who texted me back said he was from Pennsylvania. Phone # 610•798•3029. He was VERY aggressive and continually kept texting me back...when I finally just called the number he had a foreign dialect and couldn’t even answer the simple questions I asked him. I just thought this cat DEAN was too beautiful to be for real. My kids just lost their cat and we all fell in love with this one. Anyway...on the phone with him I asked him another question and he just HUNG UP THE PHONE. I texted HIM back and said “hello?” (As he had done to me all morning) and he says, “sorry I’m at work and my boss just walked in. Ask me your questions here.” I just told him to call me back when he had 2 minutes and he hasn’t called back yet. So very sad that people do this and break people’s hearts. 😔 This site is related to Glorious Bengals also, Scammed for 1500. They have the exact same MO of dealing. I filed a complaint with the sheriff's office, gave all my emails, texts, and flight schedule. For their fake pets transport. I filed a complaint with the FBI. They are looking into it. Time these scam artists are dealt with. Don't understand why they are still aloud to operate.

Was also scammed but around $3,500 by forever bengals. DO NOT FALL FOR IT LIKE I DID. Am here to warn you I have contacted FBI and the website will be gone shortly. 8/13/2021 11:47:18 am
I became suspicious after they insisted on direct Zelle or Apple Pay. The number for Alvaro (possible owner) is a California number which matches her story, However, they wanted me to Apple Pay someone in OKC. Looking back, Natasha (the cat I wanted) looked to pretty to only cost $1300 dollars. So I changed my mind just before I sent it to them. When I told them of my concerns, I got a text message back from the 415# telling me "Good for you". 8/18/2022 05:59:30 pm
Thank you, I was just in contact with them and had filled our an adoption application. I'd hate to be expecting to receive a kitten just to get ripped off. I just lost my partner and don't know if I could handle this kind of drama. Scam, related to.Glorious Bengals. Both sites have exact same language. Running a scam on kittens and pet transportation. All fake. They say their out of California. Their in Maine, and so is Glorious Bengals. Their emails bothe have same phone numbers on them. I filed a criminal complaint with the sheriff's office, and filed one with FBI. Gave all my texts and emails, their fake flight schedules. They need to do something about their sites still being up and running.

Deluxecattery is a SCAM. " William" and Michael are con artists, who want $500 or $525 deposit thru Zelle. Thank God the Zelle transfer got hung up! Scammers. Guys name was Kenneth Johnson in TN and airpetscarrier.com is a scam as well. Do not send any money to any of these sites unless you FaceTime them and see the kitten and see that it is real. It’s beyond ridiculous to scam someone this way. I’ll have this site shut down as soon as possible.

I just got scammed by Healthy kittens 4Home for a Bengal. Slick operation, fake receipts, fake air cargo company, lovely photos of kittens named River, Ziggy, Blue, etc. string you along until shipping day when air cargo company asks for more money for insurance. I am sure they change their name, use Zelle to get the money Avoid 507 area code, claims he is Nigel Jones. The kitten was expensive so I thought it was legit. Sad and stupid.

I purchased a kitten name Alicia from prettybengal4homes.com for $1600 which included shipping cost. The lady was Dominique Turner and she seems to have those same cats available. Ziggy, River, Blue. I guess she changed her site again. The shipping company was called Cargo Movers Limited. They would only text with me and so did Dominique. Never was able to talk to anyone. The shipping company requested $1950 to rent a the crate that she was to be shipped in or you could buy it for $3900. My bank cancelled the wire transfer to Cargo Movers Limited feeling that it was a scam. Unfortunately we are out of the $1600. Lesson's learned.

Trying to buy a bengal kitten from bengals 4 homes and their credit card system is down and want me to wire cash or use Zelle which is also like cast that has no protection against fraud. 11/25/2022 10:54:18 am
Definitely a scam site. I recommend you go to tica.org and look at their registered breeders list before you decide to buy. Stay away from sites that want you to use zelle/ cash app. I found a lot of the scam sites want you to use this and/or wire money. They all say that their credit card system is down. 11/25/2022 11:09:28 am
It seems to be anything ending in 4 homes seems to be a scam site. I recommend looking at tica.org and using one of the breeders listed on it. I found there are a lot of sites that say they are tica registered breeder and when I checked tica list they are not on it. Definitely avoid sites that want cash or wire transfer. I found that scam sites all say that their credit card system is done which is very suspicious.

Peace Home Bengal Kittens is definitely a scammer. I own a transport service and kept getting calls asking if I know these people. One lady finally gave me info which led to Peace Home Bengal Kittens Google reviews. The last said she knew something wasn't right because they claimed I was their courier and could do in cabin air within 24 hours but on my site she saw where we aren't doing air nanny service at the moment because of Covid. Their reviews definitely show they are scamming.

My mother in law is looking for a new bengal kitty, as hers has recently passed. She sent money to someone who was listed on the TICA website and they ended up being a scammer. How can we know for sure if the breeder is legit when TICA is inaccurate? 5/28/2020 11:38:51 pm
If you believe that you were scammed by a TICA or CFA registered breeder you should contact TICA or CFA directly and report that. 5/28/2020 11:33:14 pm

I also was scammed I paid a deposit for a bengal kitten, the website appeared legit but it wasn't. I went to pick up the kitten and it was not a legal address. I should have known. The website was Buybengalkittensonline. I did report them to the FTC but i don't think anything with come of it. Please don't be fooled like I was.

Does anyone know if adorablebengalshomes.con is legit or a scam? I’d appreciate any information. I truly feel terrible for those of you who that were defrauded by heartless criminals. 7/14/2020 08:09:03 am
It's 100% a scam!!!!!!! Several of those photos are my kittens that went to their new homes months ago. If the kittens are less than $1000 or buy-one-get-one or shipping included, those are all signs of scams. Also a "purchase" button. No real breeder will let you just purchase a kitten from their website without any email or phone contact. Dude sent me a contract and everything had a real website for the logistics. Tracking number and everything ! I want my money back :( and my kitten ! I even asked for my name next to the kitten .. also asked for a video !! Everything was legit right until I needed an 1800 permit for him to fly from Maryland ( original location Denver) to Chicago !!! Why would he fly over me to get to me but stop in Maryland only to be held up !? Then ask for my picture ID NOPE 👎🏼 I just wanted to get my boyfriend a cat to cheer him up as our just passed away at 18 yrs old ( cancer) and here I am getting stolen from ... this world we live in is a very very sad one do not purchase from starbengs.com

What is your company? as you mention that the kittens at adorablebengals are yours? Quite amazing...and disturbing. Thank you.
My cattery is Sakura Bengals. Some of my photos were stolen back in March/April and they've popped up on several scam sites. I can get the scam sites shut down when I find my photos by reporting them for copyright infringement. But I can't do anything about the sites that are using other breeders' photos unless I recognize them and then tell the breeders. The scammers just keep making new sites. My husband and I created this website for real breeders who are also health-testing their kittens:
Yeah, they are I was scammed hard ! 6/27/2020 08:52:58 pm
I need help. These guys scammed me today. Took my money through cash app.... I have no documentation and then I tried to call the number and it suddenly said disconnected . So I voiced my caller ID and called back and the guy answered and I said give me back my money . They hung up. The number is 720-996-8608.

Just tried getting scammed at peace home bengals. My payment wasn’t going through and being blocked by both my bank and CashApp, this is when I started digging into being scammed and came across this thread😕 I contacted these people and soon realized it was a scam when they wouldn’t send me a video of the kitten. They priced a beautiful snow female for $500. When I asked about a video they went on a rant about how they’re Christians and wouldn’t scam me but they also wouldn’t send me a video until I gave them money.

When you start emailing questions and conversations these scammers always have some long winded convoluted story as to why they are selling the Bengal for so cheap relative passed away - moving to another country - no time to take care - and very smoothly they send you a questionnaire in regards to what type of person you are, your level of experience with Bengals - is your house cat friendly this makes the scammer look sincere and this is repetitive amongst all the adds how ever I just wonder could this be one person looking like many people taking all of the money-
Lori
9/21/2020 08:14:32 pm
Convoluted stories about why their cats are so cheap is your first warning. Ask for real time video - FaceTime or Zoom OR ask for references! All the scammers have fake testimonials on their site, but you should be able to get actual names and phone numbers of a breeder’s previous clients if you ask. I’m a real breeder and I have no problem proving so. If someone doesn’t want to send you references or real videos, something is not right.

Howdy Folks - Just learned something new by experimenting and playing around on the internet in regards to Bengal Scams - I visited 2 websites claiming to sell Bengal Kittens for around $500 - Then I went to Who IS IP Look Up and Site 24x7 copied and pasted the URL and got domain name and host invalid plus other various errors with the website that are not normal to fully functional site available to the public - How ever these folks will
Thanks i almost got scammed as well, BEWARE that anyone asking you to pay via Cash App or Zuelle is usually a scammer, also around the same date, this was the phone number 720-996-8608. They said that they would deliver the puppy to my door, via airline for $50. and also it would leave the following morning on a flight... This didn't make sense. Nor did it make sense, HOW they referred to the kitten. 11/9/2020 07:58:24 am
Same exact message I received from gorgeousbengalshome.com Came across this thread using a Google search of the number I was in contact with for the Karl's Pit Bull Home website. The text exchange described here was verbatim the same as the person I dealt with. So the scammer expanded from fake Bengals into fake PitBulls. Reports have been filed with PetScams.com, BBB and the FTC and my bank has also launched an investigation. 8/7/2020 12:46:00 pm
I am suspicious about this website and wanted to know if anyone as dealt with them. 8/27/2020 01:14:39 pm
I am wanting a bengal and am leary of this site. Does anyone know if its s scam? I am assuming it is....my siamese kitten just died after 4 months of treating him for FIP (with gs) and can't handle any more drama.

9/10/2020 05:30:34 am
That's definitely a scam. The format is pretty much identical to some of the ones I've gotten shut down already. See how the photos of the kittens are all different colors/ages and the backgrounds are all different? Dead giveaway.

I have been emailing with http://lovelybengals.com/bengal-kittens-for-sale? Their phone # is 612) 382-0519, and they gave me their address, 1027 Old Blue Ridge Tpke, Madison, VA 22727, as I said I would not want to ship the kitten but pick it up. I’m sure they will say we have to pay now and I would hope if we drive 10 hours to VA that they would be there. And they do take PayPal which I think can be stopped if necessary. And this is a slightly different name than all the ones mentioned above. They did give me one reference who answered me positively by text. HOWEVER, the name Roragan Cattery is on their website, which is mentioned at the very beginning of these posts. And some of the pages on the website are very badly written. And they did not agree to FaceTime. Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

To continue...these people, lovelybengals, are also the same as adorable bengals. They are definitely a scam. As soon as I requested a video, they said, in their very bad English, that I was not getting a kitten from them. Please be careful and with all the sits mentioned above. As Andy Dunn says, “if it’s too good to be true (the price), it probably isn’t”! 9/15/2020 07:43:29 pm
They are legit scammers they said they are ready to sell the kitten for 100 dollars . Just got saved by these stupid scammers they almost got me but know I am settling for a different cat that I can hold and touch . Does any body know any good bengal cat breeder I hope your not a scammer 😡

I was literally about to get a cat from this website. It seemed so legit, with photos and videos sent by email. I'm glad I waited and decided to google reviews for them. It's so sad to see so many scammer sites. There's another site, wildnsweetbengalscom that look legit, but they're prices are like $3000 - $5000, which is a bit much for me. I'll just have to wait for the bengal I've been wanting all these years. Hello, I was just scammed for a bengal cat. All the signs were right in my face but I was just to damn excited to even realize. But now I’m concerned they will take more money out of my account. Is this possible. I sent it through Zelle. I’ve seen many comments of people getting scammed for bengal cats and these scammers taking more money from their account. How is this possible? 10/31/2020 06:38:34 am
Hello Linnea, you don't mention which breeder you are asking about in your comments. We would be happy to take a look at the site and give our opinion one way or the other. Hopefully you did not send all of the money up front... Always ask to see fresh video of any kitten you are buying to verify that there is actually a kitten and see how and where they live. Usually if you have only paid a deposit and are paying the final amount at delivery it is legit. Most of the scammers push hard to get your money up front.

Hello! I realize I forgot to put it down. It is called Lovely Bengal Kittens Home. A page on Facebook. 4/6/2021 03:53:27 pm
Thinking it may be a fraudulent Bengal site. Wanted me to use an App vendor, to pay up front, etc. are not members of cat associations they profess to belong to. 10/31/2020 07:06:18 am
Hello Linnea I took a look at the website and facebook page and to me they look real and legitimate. Of course that is no guarantee that they are real. Possibly some of our other followers have had contact or dealings with them and will comment but to me they look real. Best Wishes!

10/31/2020 07:39:47 am
Thanks, Andy! I am getting such mixed signals from them. They asked for $300 deposit through an online source so I gave them money through Venmo. Then they came back saying they had too many funds in the account, and said they would reimburse me and have me pay through another electronic payment. I then contacted Venmo and they suspected they did not fulfill their end of the transaction and I was reimbursed the $300. If you go to their about information on the Facebook page, the website goes to a whole different breeder who I contacted and said it was not her kittens. I have asked this company to FaceTime me and also to confirm the paperwork which they have yet to do. Does this sound suspicious? I am not as familiar with cat breeders as I have always gotten shelter kittens and then have had dogs. 10/31/2020 08:12:38 am
I must say that does not sound good! The deposit amount is pretty standard and we use Venmo as one of our payment types as well as Zelle, and Paypal But the part about being directed to another breeders site is very strange and a HUGE red Flag. Have you confirmed that they are TICA and or CFA registered Breeders by getting their cattery name and checking them out on the appropriate registry site? I can say for sure do not part with any more of your hard earned money until you see the kitten and have had your questions answered to your satisfaction. A Bengal kitten is a major investment. Hopefully some of the other people in your area that follow this post will weigh in later today. Also be sure you talk to them or facetime them. Do not do everything by text or e-mail... You never know who you are actually speaking with. Factime is best or skype if you can so you can see the actual kitten.

Last Dec 14th I was scammed for 2000 dollars from North Carolina. The next day they were listed under a different name. 4 times they listed the same beautiful Bengal kittens I didn’t know how to bring them to justice because nothing was real. Every time I saw them listed I wrote on the site they were scammers. I love Bengals I have 2 rescued Bengals but in the past I had an F1 male that had been fixed. How much do you charge for your kittens and where are you located
I was almost scammed also. Paws N Tales.

I got scammed by bengals.company.com Definitely scammers, tried to reassure my daughter and I how legit they were talking about a contract, we insisted on a call which we could barely understand them. Thank god we caught on to this and found this information. I did net feel comfortable using zelle to send money with no guarantee.. Be careful purchasing anything online without a credit card. Already the number is disconnected 12/7/2020 07:55:01 am
Happy Holidays all, This post continues to be the most popular on our BLOG and sadly most find it after they have been scammed by BENGAL Scammers. Please remember that if it sounds too good to be true it is usually a scam. It is expensive to raise Bengals so if you see them of cut rate prices RUN...

Hi, I just wanted to add that even if somrone offers paypal as a means to a deposit you should ask a lot of questions. I started looking for Bengal kittens today and have caught 4 scammers luckily without giving up any money. The most ridiculous was Patricial Day on Go Kitty. She offered to ship a kitten on a plane for 90 dollars on too of the selling price of 650. That was a flag because no airline assumes responsibility for a live animal in cargo for only $90. When I pressed for details she gave a fake address and the emails were time stamped with a 13 hour difference - Japan. Please ask questions and do your research. Ask for contracts and business info. License numbers, breeder registration info, etc.... anyone who is legit will just provide the info with no problems. These scammers avoid those answers.

I am in the middle of talking with Precious Bengals Cattery in fresno, my mom wants a kitten of theirs but I am very skeptical. I called TICA, and none of the information given to my mom matches anyone that TICA has registered. When asked for credentials, she was given a very defensive answer about how everything they do is legit and they would never commit the evil of faking it. My bet is they are a scam.

Thank you all for this information!! I’ve been messaging with someone at adorablebengalcat4homes.com. When I mentioned that I wanted to verify some information to make sure they are not scammers, the person got offended right away although they did send me videos. Like all others they want all your personal information first to send you a contract then payment by Zelle, Apple Pay or google pay. Kitten would be delivered to my door step. At no moment in time has this person given me there name or phone number, all conversations have been through messenger. Has anyone dealt with these people? 1/26/2021 04:54:21 am
Cynthia it is common for scammers to get mad if you question them or try to verify information and sometimes to even imply that you may be a scammer. Real breeders understand that a Bengal kitten is a major investment in time, money and love and will understand your desire to verify them. Insist on verification, facetime if possible, Talk on the phone, fresh videos of the kitten etc. Check out their social media too. Most breeders hav websites and or facebook as well as other social media. Be aware that many of the slickest sites online are scammers. Since they spend little or no time taking care of real kittens, they have lots of time to create fake websites... Last remember that if the price with shipping seems to good to be true it is likely a scam. There are many costs involved in properly breeding and caring for Bengal kittens. Best wishes in your search! Hello, so I was scammed for a bengal cat. $250, don’t even ask me how I fell for that I feel like a complete idiot. But I’ve been seeing comments to people saying that these people have randomly taken more money out of their account. Is this really possible? I already filed a claim with my bank but should I also freeze my accounts/get new ones? Anyone who could give me some feedback I would greatly appreciate. I feel so stupid

Glad I could help. We need to report the website so it can be taking down. I came across ~——> “affectionatebengalbreeders.com” on google & went onto their website & they have (*”a fresh litter of~(12) bengal kittens that are 10 weeks old & ready for their forever home & they are $700 + w/ a FREE SHIPPING COUPON THIS WEEK ONLY & the reason why they are so cheap is bc they work full time jobs and they have another litter on the way so they need to get rid of this litter ASAP”*) & the first thing I noticed was how #1) they had a total of-(12) kittens from 1-litter supposedly & also #2) ironically they have like (4)-completely different color + stripes patterns on the kittens which is more along the lines of being FISHY rather than KITTY LIKE to me so *****BUYERS BEWARE OF AFFECTIONATEBENGALBREEDERS.COM I WOULD BET THE FARM ON IT THAT ITS SOME NIGERIAN SCAMMER TRYING TO GET ANOTHER $700 CLOSER TO RETIRING OFF OF ANOTHER AMERICAN PERSONS HARD EARNED $$$ ;/ All, this is Andy from Registered Bengals, We wrote this post to educate and notify potential Bengal buyers about all of the scammers out there looking to cheat you out of your hard earned money and break your hearts when no kitten arrives. If you see internet ads offering Purebred Bengal kittens for $700 you can 100 % bet you will never get a kitten. It costs three to four times that much in time, energy, Vet bills, food, litter etc to raise and properly socialize a Bengal kitten. When researching a breeder look at their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, You tube etc and verify an established and reputable history... Most of the scam sights pop up overnight, hove no other supporting social media and want to conduct business almost 100% by text or e-mail. Never send money until you have spoken to a real person and gotten FRESH pictures and LIVE or brand new video of the specific kittens or at least the litter... 99% of the scammers will drop you when you ask for these things and or act mad to try to bully you into sending money. RUN from these guys!!! Do your homework, Your New Bengal kitten will be with you for 15 or more years, Pick the right one.
Niko in my opinion it is highly likely that Up Hill Bengals is a scammer site. If you choose to proceed you should have them facetime or skype with you to show you the kittens listed live.

Does anyone know anything about company bengals 4 you? I contacted them they said they had a sale of $800 on their bengal kittens and it ended Friday of this past week and the kittens go up to $1,000 after that. Sent pictures of the cat in question and registered through tica. Just wondering if anyone dealt with them they also texted from a Pennsylvania number as well. I want to make sure they are not a scammer before making plans to try and get one. 11/21/2022 12:49:13 am
I am not sure if they are a scam or not. I looked on TICA.org for registered Bengal breeders and they only have two in Pennsylvania. One is called IndianCreek and the other is called LavaPeak. Most of these sites look so real but, it is really hard to tell. I would look for a breeder through TICA. I hope this helps. I just avoided a possible scam. The person refused to allow me to see the cat in person and asked for me to buy Amex card and give him pictures of the receipt which is a huge red flag. Original price 800 settled for 500, but when I offered cash he refused. Yes I’m convinced he’s a complete scam. Stay alert and away.
Hello Miracle, If you are referring to Our Site (Registered Bengals) I can assure you that we are legitimate breeders. You can google us Under Registered Bengals or Bengaltime Cattery and check us out on both TICA and CFA under Bengaltime Cattery.

I was trying to buy Alicia (11 weeks old) from Antonio Lopez (www.darlingtonbengals.com) today, 10/7/2021, for $1300. He sent me numerous pictures of Alicia and 2 short videos via text messages. I also asked for their physical location in the US coz Darlington is a city in Southern Carolina but the phone number starts with a Pennsylvania area code: 215-695-78-27, Antonio ignored the question. Then, my husband asked many additional questions about Alicia, vaccines and her delivery to LA, we started looking for reviews on the internet and saw Antonio's name here, thanks god! Antonio has not replied yet to my husband's questions via e-mail and will never reply, I guess. Thank you for your blog and all the comments, a lot of useful info!

10/7/2021 07:34:41 pm
Oh, I forgot to mention, Alicia's picture is on different suspicious websites from Eastern Europe, according to image Google search. Also, Antonio uses a Savannah cat's pic on his website about Bengals. In addition, you can check out scammers' websites for plagiarism as TICA suggests, coz scammers often use copy/paste simple technique. 9/29/2021 06:55:23 am
I have been looking for a Bengal cat and came across this breeder - Dream on Bengals. I'm curious if anyone has heard or knows anything about this breeder? I inquired about a kitten and have received responses and pictures of the parents as well. I guess my hesitation is because they are in SC and I'm in PA, is this a scam? There isn't a website, only the Facebook page that they have listing their cats. I will obviously inquire about the CFA and TICA registration as well, but wanted to know if anyone knows any more information regarding them. 10/17/2021 11:06:34 am
Bought a kitten from jupiterbengalkittens.com The website looked legit, got a bill of sale and everything. But ultimately I got scammed. Has anyone else heard of this site? My bank kept rejecting my payment (thankfully) but everything seemed legit, they even sent a video saying my name with the cat but when I called my bank they told me their account through Zelle was reported 4 days before that as a scam. Please beware, they only take Zelle or Apple Pay, the Bliss Relocation Services website they sent the “tracking” number through is very sketchy but just an elaborate scam as well. They are based out of Virginia, but a Georgia number is where they wanted me to send the apple payment since Zelle was being rejected.

10/19/2021 06:54:17 am
The site is “F5bengalcattery.com” and the phone numbers used were (757) 690-0809 and (757) 690-0809 apparently the second number was the “younger brother” to send payment to through Apple Pay, who I later got a text from saying “wassup” and a voice message saying “yooooo” just highly suspicious and irritating that there are so many people making it a full time “job” to scam people.

I know this is mainly about bengal kittens but I am currently buying a kitten from [email protected]. They also have an Instagram site with the same name. I sent a Zelle deposit for $200 with the balance of $1000 at pickup in Oakland NJ on 12/11/21. The breeder is located in Deleware ( says shes just a home breeder not a cattery) but says pick ups at her dads house in NJ is also an option sunce I live in NY. I actually paid for a background check on this person and the addresses check out. She has always answered my emails even after $200 deposit. I so want this to be legit her pics and videos of her cats are all consistent. I will be heartbroken if shes a scammer so wondering if anyone on her knows about this breeder? A note from Registered Bengals / Bengaltime Cattery - There are more Scam Bengal and other kitten sites than there are legitimate sites. To properly and ethically raise Bengals in particular so that they are well socialized and ready to enter your family it takes a lot of time and effort. With Vet checks, Chips, real food and vaccinations it is well over $1,500 per kitten just in costs. If you see them advertised for less that that it is almost certainly a scam. NEVER send money to anyone that you have not spoken to and always require fresh vides of the kittens. REAL breeders expect this and will not get upset. It's an investment in a family member that will be with you for 15 to 20 years... We send videos daily to people on our waiting list and sometimes more than one a day... BE VERY CAUTOUS!

Is this legit I saw a bengal for $1300 https://santiagobengal.com/ Huge red flag alert on Emmaskittenshome. I contacted these people and I knew it was too good to be true, You cannot purchase a Bengal kitten for $500.00 and $70.00 shipping. My little alert feelers went up immediately after I spoke to a man on the phone. Wanted me to send a deposit, and hung up the phone when I said I wanted to see and meet the kittens in person, and pay in person.Such beautiful kittens on the website. SCAM. Lowlifes!

Healthy Bengal Cats.com is a scam! Spoke to them several times and thought they were legitimate. I was asked to pay via Venmo to ship the kitten. I was sent shipping documents and airline info, pictures and a video. Then the shipping company which also had a legitimate looking website www.cargowideint.com called me and told me that the kitten would be transported on a cargo plane and due to weather conditions I would need to rent a crate from them that provided climate control or they would not ship her. They told me that although the rental fee was $1,911.00 all except 2% was refunded to me at the delivery of the kitten. I paid the amont after receiving shipping documents, information on the crate rental, pictures of the kennels in front of the plane with people loading and of course there has been no kitten delivered. I have attempted to contact Heathly Bengal Cats.com numerous times without any reponse and also the shipping company. I have reported the incident to Venmo and FBI Cyber Crimes but I feel like an idiot and my 5 year old daughter who was so excited to get our new bengal kitten is devastated. There truly are horrible people in the world. We (Registered Bengals / Bengaltime Cattery) received an e-mail this morning from a concerned person looking to buy a Savannah kitten online and wondering about the TICA breeder certificate. The FAKE Breeder "Serval & Savannah kittens for Rehoming" had taken our breeder certificate and changed it to theirs. Anyone can check the legitimacy of a TICA breeder by going to the TICA website - (https://tica.org/owners-breeders/catteries/registered-catteries) and looking them up. Another reminder that there are MANY, MANY fake breeders online. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, Talk to them on the phone, facetime and see the kittens live. Compare all social media, websites, Facebook, youtube, etc. Fortunately, these folks won't be scammed by this particular group but it happens every single day. Just got scammed. $1,600 for a sweet kitten we’ll never get… and 2 very sad and disappointed kids. His name was Kyle Segura from Prettypawbengals.com and prettyclawbengals.com phone 1-507-203-2962 Maplewood MN. Everything seemed really light. The shipping company used was Cargowideint.com. So sad… what’s wrong with people. Asked to pay Zelle…

So sorry you lost $1600. Thank you for posting this. I’ve been talking to him as well… on the exact same number, except he told me his name was Nigel Jones from Maplewood, NM. I wanted to purchase River from Prettyclawbengals.com. I wanted him sooo bad. I’m so sad it was all a scam :-( 11/1/2022 12:33:00 am
I wish I read this sooner I just sent Nigel jones if that’s even their name 800 dollars with a total of 1600. It’s not possible to get the money back right? I also used Zelle. 8/26/2023 02:28:06 pm
Nigel Jones scammed me out of $1500. He tried to get more for crate, etc. he said he was in hospital so kitten would be delayed. Total scammer, broke my heart, took months to stop feeling sad and stupid. I reported him to Minnesota senior scam but never heard back. I don’t think scammers ever get caught and they must make a lot of money. 7/3/2022 10:04:17 am
We hear this over and over again and this Blog post unfortunately has almost 160 comments from people that have been scammed when looking to add a beautiful Bengal kitten to their families.
Shan, Based on what I have seen in Numerous scammer websites In my opinion the website that you shared is a scammer website. 8/14/2022 09:16:33 am
I was in the market to buy a Bangel kitten when I contacted this place by the internet as I was interested in a kitten they had listed with money in hand ready to buy. The response was that the kitten was available and her cost seemed normal so far. Well since I live local I wanted to see the kitten in person I was then told no one can visit without a $500 dollar deposit so I then explained I would pay there in cash as well as a down payment on the kitten this person was still pushing for a deposit prior to the visit my first visit through Zelle, Venmo or Cash app. Now when I was not agreeing with the $500 dollar fee they dropped the price to $150 but when I mentioned Cash day of this was not acceptable so seems to be a scam. I to, was just scammed. This website looked legit. I went back and forth with the breeder via email, received the shipping link, etc. I was asked to purchase a shipping container and started to feel uneasy about everything. Today, no response. So frustrating. Beware of this website: https://www.smartbengalkitten.com 10/31/2022 08:24:05 pm
I forgot to mention the website that was attempting to scam here it is. https://royalbengalcattery.com I live near this town so it would have been an easy visit however this person wanted money first before seeing any and all cats in person.
They clam the are not breeder but ship from breeder internationally.
NevlineBengals.com (Fort Worth, TX) claims their cats are tica registered. But unable to verify. Asking $700 for cat named Mara and $750 for cat named Kelly. Is anyone else out there promised these Bengals? Looks and sounds like a scam but looking for proof from someone. TX phone is 502 area code but the seller is 972 area code. Received a contract that looks very basic. Now they want the full amount before they will ship the cats to WA. State. This sounds very similar to all your posts and looking to see if anyone else knows if this is a scam.
NevlineBengals.com. This is a total SCAM. Just called Hansle Potter to get some FaceTime on the cats. He refused. My daughter back searched the cat photos and also found them on website heavenlybengals.com. Hansle Potter then hung up on us. I am sure glad your blog exists and we did not lose $1,400 today.

Hi all, my boyfriend was just scammed by a website called Rullo Bengals. https://rullobengals.com/ Same deal as many of the others, asked us to pay over Venmo and then rent an additional shipping crate after the fact, this time through someone's personal Zelle account. They say they're based in Tucson AZ, the phone number they gave us has been disconnected. My boss was just scammed by Capri Bengals in Tucson, AZ. They were lazy when copying over their website because they left "Rullo Bengals" in the fake testimonials on their website. They got him for $950 for the cat and $350 for the shipping. They asked him to pay someone named Julius on Venmo for the cat and said that Atlas shipping company's website was down for maintenance and that he would need to Venmo for the shipping too. Then they asked him to Venmo another $1,000 for the cat to be microchipped and said that it was state law (which it is not.) That's when I got involved and helped him figure out that he was being scammed. As soon as he asked them to facetime, zoom or google duo call, they completed ghosted him and he has not heard from them since. The day after all this happened, they took their website down. 1/29/2023 12:53:12 pm
I also got scammed. Thor is gorgeous but the price seemed too low. 700.00 for the kitten,.300.00 too ship. I almost bought Kelly too. The guy Anthony sent me all kinds of photos for both kittens.i signed the contract and send it back. We'll, I asked to FaceTime or video. He responded within.30 seconds and said thanks for wasting my time.

Marcie, I recommend if you really want a kitten go through tica.org. (The International Cat Association) for a licensed breeder. I was scammed back in October and was out of $1600. I purchased a beautiful Bengal kitten in December from a registered Bengal Breeder listed on tica.org. I have since been down to visit with my kitten. I will bring her home in three weeks. A lot of the scam sites are saying they are registered TICA breeders, but when you check TICA breeders list they are not on there. TICA will give you a list of registered breeders by state. This allowed me to find one within a few hours of where I live. I got to see the kitten before I paid any money.

I ran across that today. These people listed as High Country Bengals say TICA registered but TICA doesnt list them.they claim to be in Pocatello Id. Thats where i live and checked everywhere but unable to locate. Their phn is 540 577 9359 which is Maryland. The only site i found them has no addr or website and the "send me a message,," gives an error message states site temp down while we update Europe's new laws. So appears they are out of Europe, maryland phone located in Pocatello. They only have a facebook site thats it.red flag. Anyone get an addr i will drive by. Their photos show Bengals and White kitties different breed. I dont have access to Facebook so use care with these people lots red flags. Thrre is legit breeders in Coure d lane idaho and Slc andeven require you come meet and pick up kitty. They will not ship.

I am trying to determine if this breeder is legit: https://motherofbengals.com/. I am leaning toward no, but it is very close to me and I have texted with Gem and received pictures. I am supposed to have a live call tomorrow. But the address is a post office, not a house. And the whole e-commerce website also says possible scam to me. 4/18/2023 03:06:43 pm
Not long ago, my girlfriend and I decided to add a kitten to our little family, so we're currently looking for a trustworthy breeder. We're glad you explained the importance of asking for updated pictures and videos of the kittens before buying from a breeder, so we'll keep this in mind for sure. Thank you for the advice on how we'd know more about the growing environment of a kitten.

Fluffybengalhome almost scammed me for $1500 for Jack and Kelly. I feel so dumb now but thankful I grew weary and started researching!!!!!! These people have a website, sent tons of pictures and videos and had a generic, but OK looking contract (which I signed)…smh. Cashapp and my bank blocked the request due to suspicious activity. Thank God. I was thinking of buying a Bengal from Music Bengals from Spokane. They want $500 down. I only find a footprint of them on Instagram however they are registered on Tica. I’m a little worried. I was supposed to send the deposit tomorrow but I decided I’d drive up from Portland and pay in full Tuesday. Im a little skeptical now because they haven’t returned my question asking such. 10/4/2023 09:37:26 am
wondering if this is a scam. They say they are located in Stockton, CA. I did a reverse search on the pictures they emailed me, and they seem legit. The price is low, though. $500 for the kitten and $250 to ship it to me.

10/4/2023 05:07:35 pm
If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of the breeder? That price seems really low. 10/7/2023 01:12:54 pm
Scammers….anyone else almost get scammed by these people that say they are in Columbia, South Carolina? Jack the bengal and Kelly the bengal? Both for $1500 with delivery? Only accepting Zelle or Cashapp…I was dumb enough to actually believe them and attempted to Cashapp then he said I had to “add” money first. Cashapp declined due to security purposes. Thank God. I started researching and found your scammers beware website. The man goes by the name of “Nick Patrick”… his number is: +1 (737) 271-6738, which is a Texas area code and the fake Cashapp handle they use is: $Juan00448. Beware!!!!!! I was just scammed by William James based out of Madison, Wisconsin. Claiming to be a breeder and sold me a 8 month old snow bengal male with no birthdate for $400. I sled him to provide a photo or video of the cat ‘today’ and he couldnt provide one. I also asked for him to provide photos of anytime before the Facebook post and he couldn’t provide any claiming he deleted them to save space on his phone. Said the cat was TICA registered and couldn’t provide paperwork. The shipping company wanted payment through Apple Cash, Zelle, etc. but using a credit card was not allowed since their ‘system was down’ and didn’t offer a website to accept payments. The seller provided a different URL for shipping than what I asked the shipping company. I asked the shipping company to send a picture of the cat right now and the said it’s against company policy to send a picture of my cat I purchased. The shipping company sent me 2 screenshots of a video of the cat (Jack) however, the seller provided me the video of Jack and that shipper used the video to provide screenshots of the photo to me. Complete scam and I’m so upset they took it so far to try and prove me wrong, buts a complete and utter scam. Had I not been emotionally drawn to this cat purchase, I would have seen the signs early on. What was I thinking… 5/17/2024 05:47:17 pm
I found the site online. I was told that if I sent them $850 that I can have the kitten the next day after I chose the one I wanted. I sent them $850 through Zelle and the next day we spoke, she was sending them to the airline and the airline was sending them to me. It was 200 of the eight 5200 was for the transportation that I sent the 850 to get the kitten to the airport at the airport calls me and tells me I need another $1500 to cover a crate. The crate that seller was sending her in, was not appropriate for the airline so the airline immediately wanted $1500. That’s when I thought something was fishy. I said to them this doesn’t sound right doesn’t make any sense that they would send the wrong crate blah blah blah. It turned out that as soon as I said it sounds fishy. They stopped talking to me mid sentence And never heard from the seller again. All her info was inaccurate. She said she was located in Arizona. She was in Texas. Her name was an alias, but I found her name. She is being watched as we speak. I should have used BEEN VERIFIED before I sent the money, instead of after.
