The Devon Cat Scam is a type of fraud that targets pet buyers. Scammers take advantage of people's love and demand for purebred cats by posting false pet sales information and claiming that the baby is a German breed or of German origin, thereby attracting potential buyers.
During the transaction process, the scammer will ask the buyer to pay a deposit or full payment first, and guarantee that the cat will be delivered to the location specified by the buyer. However, once the money reaches the scammer's account, the scammer loses contact and the baby ceases to exist. To avoid such scams, buyers can choose to purchase pet insurance and choose reputable sellers to ensure a safe transaction.
