african grey #2

this is the 2nd scam in 2 days when i was looking for an african grey parrot

Thanks for keeping in touch. Regarding transportation, it will
cost you a total of $480 for the two birds to be shipped and delivered
at your home. Their transportation fee is to be paid directly to the
shipping company and the transportation charges is to be paid first so
that the birds will be able to get on a flight. The delivery agency is
also going to inform you on how to pay the shipping fee for the birds
and they are going to be delivered at your home by delivery agents
from the delivery agency. I will be sending the birds along with
their personal gift basket which will include;

* A bag of bird food, their vet records, 2 designer outfits each, Some
3-4 favorite play toys, Food Menu Card, feeding bowls and a parrot
photo album and some helpful information.

I'm ready to ship the birds to you and it will only take about 7-9
hours for the birds to arrive your home. Also, remember to send me
monthly updates and pictures of the birds as they are coming to join
your family so that I see how they are coping in your home. Will that
be OK with you? and I can send them right away If I have your
information for their delivery. The information required by the
shipping company for their flight registration and delivery at your
home is ...

Full name ..., house address ...,
Cell # ..., Home # ...,
City... , State ..., Zip code &
Closest airport in your area.

Once I have your delivery information, I will go straight to
the shipping company with Nina & Lino register them for transportation
to your location and email you back as soon as I'm done at the
delivery agency. The delivery agency will in addition contact you for
delivery confirmation and also to give you instructions on how to pay
the transportation charges. Hope to read back from you at your
earliest convenience. Note that once you provide me with your delivery
information, i will take it to the Ministry of Pets and Animal
husbandry have all their documents changed to your name as their new
and rightful owner before taking them for registration at the shipping
company okay.

PS: How are you preparing to welcome Nina and Lino in your home?

Thank you so much for accepting to add Nina and Lino into your home.

Waiting to read from you...

Thanks for posting! Could you post the email headers ("Received: from foo by bar with baz")?

From: Ashleigh Marie <[email protected]>

Hi there

These are still going strong, I have just posted a very similar topic regarding two Macaws, I will also be posting another one shortly about an African grey.

This scam is still running. Be aware!!! I have emails from the same scammer to two different email accounts, indicating their location is in two different places. I identical to the one originally posted above. Only difference is that in one email he did say that his wife had just passed away and that he was a disabled military veteran in North Dakota. The other said he was in Virginia.

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Thank you.

Can you please post the email addresses used and a couple of the emails sent to you?

The email claiming he's in Virginia is [email protected], gives a street address of 12310 Mandarin Rd,
Richmond,VA,23227

The email claiming he's in North Dakota is [email protected], says he's specifically in Dickinson,ND

His listings appear on birdbreeders.com and oodle.com.

Can you post a couple of the initial emails sent to you from each email address.

Some people may search for the script, phrases and fake names.

The scammer is West African by the writing.

Please buy or adopt your pet locally. This way you can physically see it and see the conditions it was raised.

Was just scammed by what I assume is a girl. Went by the name of Renee, and was a girl in the pictures and videos. Claims the birds went by the names of Lino and Nina also. I didn't figure it was a scam until the money was sent and it was sent to Maryland, but the phone numbers on the "transportation agency" website were in California. The website is wefirstpettransport.com and the "confirmation email" was sent from [email protected]
