Beware of online scams

-

I just feel people need to be aware of scammers on Gumtree as there are so many of them.

Thankfully ,I had the sense to stop my friend from parting with any money. I met her through a missing cats section, fortunatel­y , I got my cat back after six ays and nights locked in a garage.

Unfortunat­ely her cat never returned and she is absolutely devastated. The reason I’m writing this is because I tried to find a kitten on websites but they’re too expensive. We’ve tried Gumtree and everyone that she’s contacted has tried to rip her off. It saddens me that there are so many horrible people out there who prey on someone’s elses misery.

All she wanted is a little girl kitten to give her comfort and peace .
