I purchased 2 african greys by the name of lin and paco. They were suppose to arrive in south africa on the 19th of june. This 'woman' spun me a story of how she's in cameroon as she is a nurse and because of her work she cannot look after them or give them the attention they need, please read the e-mail sent to me:
-Hi,

Thanks for reading from you.I'm Elizabeth from Johannesburg.I work in
the Net Care Clinic in JHB, but currently in Yaounde,Cameroon for an
international AIDS Project.I traveled along with my male and female
African Grey Parrots , but due to the nature of my work here I can't
really take care of them anymore, so I have decided to give them out
for adoption and I'm only interested in adopting my birds only in SA
where I could always pass by to check on them when I'm back in the
country, or to someone who will promise sending me updates of their
photos.I wish to know if you are knowledgeable about this breed or if
you have owned a bird before? You got kids? Because they are so
playful and affectionate.They are n't for sale, all I'm looking for is
just a good and caring home where they could become the center of
attention.

Attached are their photos

Kind Regards,

Eliza

So I agreed to take the birds. Being a good person I offered to pay for the ticket. Then along came the e-mail from the courier stating they needed more money for a cage.. So stupid me I paid it. The best off all the account I paid it into actually belongs to this person and is now closed! The email received was bright and wonderfully layed out!

Now I am sitting without the africans I paid for. So decided to google it and low and behold! I came accross this site!

I don't know what to do! I've lost all my savings and I don't have my birds! Who can help get this women!
