There have also been several scams from the cameroon area regarding "Needing to Rehome Macaws"

Many of them are for hyacinths, saing they just want a good home for the bird and all you have to do is pay shipping. I have also seen this scam for scarlets and greenwings.

ONe guy went as far as to send altered documents with their commisioner of police's stamp on them as well as altered shipping licences for importing into the US.

They ask for you to send them the money for shipping upfront, they make fake shipping companies with emails and web pages.

I happen to know a fair amount about importing rules and regulations, I worked for a company and handled all the customs paperwork to and from Canada. So I looked up the current policies on Importing Birds into the US and starting asking questions. Very soon the guy stopped emailing me.

I figured it was a scam from the beginning, and never sent any money, I wanted to see how far they would go after reading a story about a women who sent several hundreds of dollars to have a bird shipped into the country, and kept being told it was being held at customs. Of course their never was a bird.

So buyers beware, If you do buy a bird from someone and need to have it shipped wether within the US or from another country. Do the research and know exactly what needs to take place before agreeing to purchase, and sending money.
