In order to convince you that he really wants to send a cat, the liar will tell you in detail how to raise the cat, and will also tell you a lot of things like being reluctant to give up the cat. When you decide to adopt this cat, I find you You and the cat are not in the same city at all. What should you do? You can't go to another city to pick it up for a cat, right? At this time, the liar will comfort you and say: It doesn't matter, if you really like it, I can mail it for you. , Of course, it is not reliable to send a certain express. I can help you to check it, but the premise is: you need to pay for the cost of the shipping! It seems that it is normal to pay a little express fee when things get here, so I happily make money. When the cat came, it turned out that the liar was gone, and the cat didn't wait until he found out that he had been deceived.

2. How to avoid online scams

1. Try to trade in the same city: There is a lot of false information on the Internet, especially some pictures of cats. You can find a cat to pretend to be a liar. Sometimes you don’t need to raise your own cats, so when adopting and buying and selling cats, try to trade in the same city, and check the cat’s condition several times before trading to ensure that the cat is disease-free and exists.

2. See as many photos as possible for non-same-city transactions: If you really like cats, try to communicate with the owner more about the cat's condition. If possible, you can even watch the cat's condition through video. Generally, liars won't If you really raise cats, it’s hard to send you a lot of pictures of cats. If you chat more, you will find flaws.

3. Adoption instead of purchase: Many people are deceived because they really like cats. Purebred cats are good-looking, but people who like cats don’t care if their cats are purebred cats. Cats are a good way, but adoption is actually a more caring behavior. Going to some rescue agencies to adopt cats will not charge any fees.
