I just got scam from one of the advertiser from Recycler.com. It is listed under Birds catagory. He was selling an African Grey parrot for $300.00. I made the contact with him through your website last week. He claims that he is in Denver, Colorado. He offer to ship me the parrot through a shipping agency. I agree to pay for the shipping cost of $265.00 because he said the adoption is free for me if I promise to take good care of his Grey parrot. He requested that the money be send to Camaroon because that is the shipping agency's headquarter. This is what it looks like for his money request:
Name... Zilefac derek
country... Cameroon
city... Yaounde
zip code... 00237
test question... What is your name
answer... Karen
After I send the money, he contacted me again that the parrot is in LA airport. Here is the information that he email me:
To be transported and delivered to you using the following address;

Pet description:

He called me 4-8 times a day demanding that I need to buy insurance before he can deliver the parrot to my house. The insurance he is asking for was $750.00. He said that it is refundable after the parrot have been delivered to me. I told him that was too high and I can't affortd it. He than lower the insurance rate to $300.00. That is when I feel something fishy. I started to do some researches online. I finally noticed that I got scamed!
