Andover Animal Control posted the following on Facebook:

It has come to our attention that there is a scammer on Facebook selling kittens and listing an address here in Andover on Haggetts Pond Road. This is a scam!

Photos of their facebook page are attached below.

Remember that scammers will pull on your heart strings and use cute photos to lure you in and convince you to pay them before running off with your money and leaving you helpless.

If you are going to adopt or purchase a pet, NEVER give money to someone over the phone or through an app without seeing the animal in person first.

This will allow you to confirm the transaction is legitimate and also let you know the animal is in good, healthy condition before purchasing.

A good breeder will always allow you to meet their puppies or kittens before purchasing!

This Facebook page has been reported, but it does not mean they do not have others or will not make another page. Please do yourself a favor and do your due diligence before handing anyone from the internet money.

Please contact your local Police Department if you have sent money to someone conducting a scam such as this
