"Darling Pair of Hyacinth macaw parrots" ad is a scam!!

[unhappy]

My story is very similar to the other pet adoption scams out of Cameroon. Supposedly, a Reverend Ntuf Nfuh and Sister Julia from California in Cameroon on missionary work emailing us from <sister_juliapetshouse@yahoo.com> through the website <classifieds@animalweb.com> said they were desperately excited about giving their two ten month old hyacinth parrots to our loving home for free. The ad was titled, "Darling Pair of Hyacinth macaw parrots." After sending them 3 money increments over $1000 total, we recieved no birds or money back, just a broken promise from a supposed Reverend and good mother. They also sent a fake Doula Airport email which made them more believable at the time, but not if I had checked out this website first to found it a fraud. All the other ads on the animal website seemed to have area code 237 which is out of Cameroon, so I doubt the whole website is trustworthy; i just wanted to let everyone else know to not fall for it like I did

Thanks. I was emailing back and forth for the past few days. Just got alittle concerned when I received two different emails with the same photos and different birds. Your posting saved me from loosing money!

Beware of the following emails on Macaws from Cameroon....

my friend is a big bird lover as am i, she was excited to get this pair of hyacinths because she recently had to get rid of most over her birds. so she wired them money and they were supposed to arrive last night, when she got off work she recieved a call from them, saying that the female [he called lisa] had laid an egg and needed to get an incubator so they could send us the egg too, i asked my friend if she felt like a grandma..she said yess. :[
not knowing there was never any birds or a package or and egg, she is absolutely heartbroken..

I'm so very happy to know that you will be taking great care of these lovely birds,and God will forever bless you and your family.Well, I just called the Airport to do some inquiries in regards to the shipping and i was told that to ship the birds to your location will cost $870 since the female Lisa is pregnant and i will be paying for that. I was also told that since the birds are to be ship to the name of another person, all the documents regarding the birds will need to be change to the name of the person so that delivery will be successful and that will cost you $420 for the paperwork. If that is ok with you, let me know so that i will take the birds to the airport, pay for their shipping fee and have the airport contact you directly for the payment of the change of ownership.Attached to this email are some of their pics Their names are Nina for the female she is 9years old and Mux for the male he is 10years old.and they are familiar with children too. Also the female bird Lisa is pregnant and will soon be laying eggs.they also have an extended vocabulary and will always say good morning to you every morning and it will take just three weeks for them to say your names and the names of who so ever lives with you. thanks and hope to read from you soon.you can also reach me through this number. +237-7410-9042 / 011237-7410-9042.

Hello,
Thanks for the mail regarding my well tamed parrots for adoption.Both the Male and Female available with an outstanding personality and behavior that you can't help it but fall in love with them, they are 13 months old and they are DNA sexed.The Babies are well vet examine.they are talkative and intelligent parrots
babies .They would make a great pet. Hand fed and tame, will get used to strangers quick. they are not shy and can do tricks like shake hands and give you five on command. they not noisy and likes to whistle and willing to learn new words....They will come with their cage to their new family and all their accessories.

Where are you located?
How is the nature of your job?
Are you married?and with kids?
How soon do you need the birds?
Would you take both the 2 birds?

I am asking for $650 each for the Hyacinth macaw and $600 for the African Grey and $700 for the blue and goal macaw and $680 for the Cockatoo's,

All i want is a loving family for this babies

THOSE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES ARE ENGENDERED AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL TO EXPORT THEM.

JUST SO YOU'LL KNOW IT:


Hyacinth Macaw: The Largest parrot of the world endangered

The hyacinth macaw is found in lightly forested and seasonally flooded grasslands in Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.

This magnificent blue and yellow hyacinth macaw grows to be 40 inches (1 m) long, is the largest species of macaw. Hyacinths can weigh over 4 pounds. The female and male are nearly indistinguishable although the female is more slender.

Hyacinth macaws mate for life. They are very sociable birds. Widow and widower macaws seek the society of a couple who apparently welcome them. As dusk falls the macaws gather in one spot to have company during the night.

Why is this species getting endangered?

Illegal pet trade is one of its worst enemies. Locals have been trapping and selling them as pets.

Macaws only make their nest by hollowing out the trunk of the rare mondavi tree, but pick only those which are more than 70 years old.

Hyacinths have two chicks at a time but reckon that only one will survive, so they desert the runt(weaker one).

Destruction of habitats to provide pasture land, deforestation, thoughtless felling of trees kills off macaws.


OF COURSE DISGUSTING SCAMMERS FROM CAMEROON DON'T HAVE ANY BIRDS.
