Scam Description
I contacted the seller about a baby parrot and they said we had to pay 500$ in PayPal or Zelle. None of those worked so he said to do gift cards, which did, but we said we would only pay half until we got the bird. The next we were contacted by the shipping company saying we needed to pay 450$ for the vaccines, since the seller didn’t. They demanded we send it through gift card. Then they said they needed to add restricted stamps which costed 500$. Then the next day they said they they needed 1000$ more in order to deliver and we said no. Just left it there and never contacted them again.
