Mia Cozart If they are having you contact them via Telegram- it’s a scam. They don’t have your cat. Read what I just posted here about how they scam people. You can call the non-emergency number (815) 966-2900 and tell them you are being contacted by someone who says they have your cat. Tell the police what the scammer is saying about having your cat and wanting money and tell the police the number the scammer is having you use. I don’t know if the police can do anything, but it doesn’t hurt to call and report it.

It’s a scam. They are doing stuff like this for lost pets all over. Here is more info about the scams. Most people who find a cat are good about getting it right back to the owner. If you are offering a reward, you may be contacted by scammers. * A scammer may request payment before showing any proof they have the pet. * Provide vague or manipulated images (can use AI to alter your own photos to look like they have the pet.) * Refuse to meet or allow you to see the pet unless you send money upfront * Ask to communicate outside of normal channels. Telegram is often used to scam people. These are tips from Pawboost on how you handle the scammers: * Ask detailed questions about your cat’s unique characteristics that aren’t shared publicly. Scammers typically can’t answer this. * Have them take a photo or a video with your pet, showing a hand gesture that you ask them to make to prove they have your pet in real time. * Verify contact information. Be cautious if someone refuses to meet in a public location or communicate through traceable methods. * Please be careful with anyone claiming to have your cat and asking for a 6 digit google code to prove you are a human. It is a scam. * Beware of anyone asking for money for your cat back. NEVER send money until you have possession of your cat. Please disregard no matter how persistent the scammers are!

Contact Winnebago County Animal Services and the police. It's theft of property.

Look up their phone number on Google. Type in 'reverse phone lookup" & type in their ph#. See if that pulls up a name. Then call the cops & tell them this story. They should know what you can do +/or who you can call. Plz update us on here.
