Cat Curiosity...

If you are a Pinterest subscriber like us you’ve probably seen lots of adverts for cat furniture, which we do click on from time-to-time out of interest, but a particular piece really grabbed our attention - the main reason was that this 2.3m high 6 cubby hole cat tree was selling for £48 so we couldn’t resist making a purchase.

Under £50 for a cat tree of this scale was an unbelievable bargain even if it wasn’t constructed to the highest standards or used premium materials so we were very curious to see what you get for your money.

To be honest we knew things looked a bit fishy before placing an order - the discounted price from £397 to £47 was the main concern but we have received price lists from manufacturers in places like China where the same cat trees are being sold for a 5-10 times their wholesale price by UK retail outlets so maybe this company was just cutting out the middle man.

We did try to do some background searching for Letcmv.shop, the company selling these products for reviews & company information, but couldn’t find anything.

We really got hooked on whether this was the real deal or not so placed our order.

After 3 weeks of waiting for our order & chasing Anboke Inc, the company who actually receipted the sale of the product, the order was showing as delivered to our studio in London but nothing actually turned up.

Sadly, it’s what we feared initially & this was simply a scam so wanted to share this with our readers just in case someone was tempted by the same or similar offer - we are going to report this to Pinterest as there’s advert after advert by various shops all branded & marketing the same products.

The text & images below do link to web addresses at the time of posting this blog but these probably won’t stay active for ever - it looks like links to the various stores promoting these products on Pinterest are already being closed down & new store fronts created.

Just to note we don’t do paid advertising on Pinterest, Instagram or Google so any Hicat® listings or search results shown are purely organic.
