I replied to many adverts looking for a parrot for my daughter and eventually found a number offering birds for adoption. I replied that I was interested in the birds that were on offer and then heard nothing for about ten days. Without any notice I was told that the birds that I wanted were in transit and were at the Airport and that I had to pay for the transport costs before they could be sent.
I was asked to pay 160.00 to pay for the cost of sending the birds to the UK. A couple of days later I was told that the birds could not be sent because the carrier wasn't prepared to carry the birds if they weren't insured and I was asked to pay 90.00 of which 85% would be refunded when the birds arrive. I was then advise that hte birds were in Englad and that they had been sent to Leeds and that they were in quarrentine until they were given a couple of shots and then rather than stresssing the birds further by sending them by air they would be brought down with a courier and delivered to my address by 4.00pm today but that I would have to apy 80.00 for the injections and courier that would be bring them to London.
When I open my Email this morning I was told that the birds had been stolen and that I would have to pay another 300.00 so that I could be refunded for the money that I had already spent. At this time I then called the police and advised them that I had been a victim of obtaining money by deception.
There were a number of site that I visited to find parrots for Sale. Be carefull of offers of Eggs for sale on these sites plus Parrots for sale for adoption
