Another Macaw scam and it's the same as the one's I've read here. But for me it's too late since I've been ripped of $520 (AUD) by this nasty sad excuse for a human being.
I responded to an advertisement on pettrade.com.Au for 12 week old macaw's and received an email the next day.in that email I was given information on how to pay and how the bird would be sent to me.
The payment was to be via Moneygram and I would receive my bird within two days.
I paid (stupid me!) and then I recieved another email saying that there was a problem and the bird was with the delivery company but would not be sent till another $400 was paid for vaccinations and insurance.
I spoke with the advertiser on the phone and questioned him about the additional charges which he apologised about but said he could do nothing about. This when I thought how stupid am I, I've been ripped off...
I requested the contact details for the delivery company which were supplied and I phoned them. The lady from the delivery company told me it was a scam and she was sorry but this was not the first time it had happened.
I traced the emails I received and after bouncing around the world I found they were origninally sent from Cameroon Mauritius.
This person must be stopped please help if you know something.
