Catnaxis Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I came crossed an ad online and a man listed that he has 2 CAG for sale with cages and toys for 450.00 when I emailed him well here is what was said... . from me:Hi I just read your ad and I was wondering where abouts you are?and why are you selling this CAG?My husband and I have been looking around for a CAG. from him:Good morning, I have three baby African grey parrots, they are all 9 months old, but I am willing to sell out just two of them, I have two females and a male, where are you located at? they cost $450 each and will come with a cage including toys, they are all DNA tested and will all be great talkers, I ship to the US ,CANADA and UK, let me know where you are located in the US from me:We are in Jeannette P.A here is our phone number please give us a call so we can talk turkey ok parrot lol (with phone number) from him: Good morning, Shipping to PA will cost $195 if all that is ok please do let me know so that i will call you and lets talk things over, I have a gut feeling this is a scam because why would you list something in Pittsburgh if you had to ship it here :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rome68 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I think that with any animal purchase you should always do so first hand. We are in an unfortunate age where trust can be so easily foiled over the net. And you should always see where your special pet is coming from. You don't want to buy a miss treated bird. You should also see any paper work of dna testing or any other vet visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan13 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 When I was looking for a Grey about a month ago I came across several scams. Tons of people emailed me back saying they are from Cameroon and they are Christians and they are Missionaries and they only want the money for their trip. I even had a lady's husband call me from out of country and ask me to send the money but he spoke very bad English. They claimed they lived in Boston but I knew it was a scam. I ended up finding a Timneh from a Guy in Florida. I am very happy with him and I picked him up from the airport about 3 weeks ago. So be careful, Pickup is obviously better even though I got lucky. Sometimes its worth spending a little more money to buy near your hometown than it is to be scammed or not knowing what you are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
