New here!

Hello my name is Harry. I have been a long time avian fan. I currently own 3 sun conures and a green cheek conure, ( yes my house is extremely loud) 2 lovebirds and a cockatiel and last but not least a Congo african grey. I'm actually in the process to get another CAG. I have come across a web site that I'm kind afraid of.... Though I can pay Paypal, my money is protected. I was just wondering if any of you have every heard of this site. I'm am excited to be a part of this community. Thanks, Harry

Hi there Harry

Have you ever thought about adopting a bird or are you wanting a baby?

Sure you will find the thread below of interest

Hello Harry, and welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you have a lovely flock! No, I'm sorry, I've never heard or seen the website you posted. Hopefully someone else will chime in, too.

 

[Harrykirk]

I actually order a grey through them, I'm trying it out. I'm suppose to receive it tomorrow. Hopefully it is legit. I will keep you all updated. Does the website seem kinda fishy?

 

[Harrykirk]

well just keeping everyone updated. I was ripped off. Paypal in investigating but will probably refund my money within 10 days.

Oh no... this isn't good news. At least you're covered by pay pal and hopefully will get your money back.

What has the site said to you. Have they answered any of your email?

the more infor you can give will help others out in situations like this.

The way this was emailing me it seemed legit. Up until the day it was suppose to ship, the was going to leave seaside Oregon and make it here to Oklahoma City, but at about 6:40 am the seller told me the parrot was now in New York and he need more money to get it to me.... First off I work at an airport, he said Jet blue was going to fly it here, Jet Blue does not come to Oklahoma! Right there and then I knew I had been scammed. And he said he needed an additional 125.00 for shipping and another 120.00 for a citis pass. In Oklahoma you do not need a citis pass for this type of bird. I have heard nothing from the sell since early Friday morning. PayPal has since taken over.

Thanks for the info.

I think people all over should be warned of this. Not good. And I guess it does happen. People will be caught out and some might not get their cash back. We recently had a bad sale on ebay where the guy just never, ever posted it to us. Luckily Ebay refunded us as soon as they'd looked into it.

hope its sorted soon.

Hello. Welcome, sorry that you got scammed. I think that in general it is not a good idea to bye a parrot that you haven't seen before. What if they sending you a sick bird, that could put in danger all your wonderful flock.
