There is a scam going around on kijiji. A man named Phyno Phino claims to be selling African Greys and Blue and gold macaws. Luckily I didn't fall for it. He wanted me to pay 500$! I immediately knew he was going to scam me.

I sent a report to kijiji that it was a scam. They didn't ask to talk through emails.

Why do you say this is a scam??

As stated the scammer does not commit his scams on listing sites.

Did he email you off the site??

I searched on google to see if it was a scam. I used the keywords lizzy & tizzy macaw scam.

And he emailed me off the site.

Thank you.
