Hi I’m looking for advice. I was looking at a pet advert of freeads, and in contact with the seller. They moved onto WhatsApp and are talking to me on a business account. They sent a few pictures but it was the same on the ad (there were a few more but all from that one moment), there was no videos of the kitten playing etc.

They asked for a fully refundable deposit. They said they’d give me a receipt but never got back to me with that. However we did message a little more and I asked about pick up times. Then I asked for more videos because I was getting suspicious. They said no problem and never got back.

I used a different account on freeads and I didn’t find the post. Even with my original account, the ad is only available on a tab I already had open before I got in contact.

Currently I haven’t been blocked but is there a way to find out if this is legit or I’ve just been cheated out of a deposit to reserve the kitten?
