Jimmydreams Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Am i the only other person that thinks this is a scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Am i the only other person that thinks this is a scam? I kind of agree, it says they have posted a few times, and yet it shows only 1 for posts. Crafty people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have no doubt this is a scam, you all right. There is no contact information, who they really are or where they are located. Just a link to send money to a shadow person out there somewhere in la-la land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The pictures don't show any terrible conditions, not enough environment pictured to form an opinion about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWIX Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I checked and find out it's a website in Taiwan. Websites are what i am good at, and agree with everyone above, do not donate. This is SCAM 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks for all the skeptics and for tracking down the website. We make a policy of donating only locally for charities we can verify. This kind of thing just tugs at heartstrings but basically even under the best of the benefit of the doubt they are asking for help to buy this group of birds without an action plan of how they propose to "save" them or make life better for them.

Acappella Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 And of course they're counting on finding a lot of soft hearted people on a forum like this. Unfortunately for them, soft hearted does not = stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We do have a Welcome mat but none of us are "Doormats". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoepgoed123 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Honestly, if this was legit, (which i'm doubting) OP would benefit from contacting petfinder.org thats the best chance for getting these birds adopted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
