Scammer - watch out

There is a guy lurking around Craigs list and other places....


Whoever is advertising the Rocky Mountain Bird expo is a SCAMMER! Watch for him, his email is
make.leon@yahoo.com
He is trying to scam with two birds - didnt say what kind, but the Camaroon location and "perfect" birds was a dead givaway
I have no idea what the Rocky mountain bird expo had to do with it but I inquired about its location and got a Scam email in return.
Pay attention ppl - they are out to get you!!!

PLEASE CROSS POST EVERYBODY!

How funny... This one, actually, 2 or 3 threads I had posted months ago- I was making everyone aware of this scammer... went by "Rosita Lorie" or "rosy4birds." Every ad put out was copy and pasted from the original I had found, where it spoke about how the type of bird was vs. the ACTUAL one for adoption... also noticed how the same ad was posted on different classified websites ALL over the world...

I found out they went also by monic.leon... and it seems that these people just won't stop. Ugh, thanks for keeping us posted... I can't wait till they find this person.

he is posting Ads advertising the Rocky Mountain Bird Expo - like anyone here in Ohio will go anyway. Then he gets your email and tries to get you to adopt his two birds from Camaroon
and he doesnt even say what kind of birds they are,lol. He told me thanks for inquiring about his birds and I'm thinking...I didnt inquire about any birds I GOT ENUF BIRDS! But then I saw the email. I hate weirdos. Oh yes, he describes them as the most perfect pets you could imagine, "Terri & Tessa" I think?
