Scam related to the sale of exotic parrots. I was scammed once and since then i do regular checks of the site. My episode was the purchase of a Hyacinth Macaw. It happened in march this year. I responded to an advertisement and was asked to deposit funds as a deposit into a bank account in the name of Shannon O'Neill, which I did, the deal was the bird would be delivered to my home, then came further requests for money for insurances, which, I was told would be refunded, the requests continued for special carrying crates and holding the bird at various airports in transit. I did not pay these. Payment was requested by Western Union. Since then i have been checking the web site for others. A give away is a check on the Google map, the locations are often repeated for different animals and are in ridiculous locations eg, service statins, the middle of Sydney. I have since discovered the operation was out of the Cameroons
