Craigslist scams
by Hookturn » Wed Dec 24, 2014 10:12 am
I hve been looking on Craigslist for a new parrot. It is shocking how many of the posts are scams. I recently replied to an ad looking to rehome a parrot and the person sent me pics. They included one of Michael in his wizard costume holding his macaw. I have replied to several posts regarding rehoming and most of them have been scams. The people refuse to talk on the phone and want money up front for shipping-unbelievable. I hope no one is dumb enough to fall for these but I have to believe that some people do. If it didn't work, these people would look for a different scam. be careful!

Yes, more and more scams are showing up in CL but there are also lots of 'real' birds that need rehoming in there.

The same thing happened to me with a pair of CAGs. When I said I would drive to pick them up I never heard from him again. That has not stopped me from using Craigslist.
