yeah, it might be better if someone other than myself writes to tell them about that ad. I appreciate your help. Smile

@ MammaBaiter

I have emailed the webmaster and hopefully he/she will take action.
Now I'm away to start my bait with him. Wonder if he'll enjoy a "quick" visit to my company website? Twisted Evil

Interesting! Checked both ads shown above.

Same name (Cindy) and same email address. 1 ad says Palm Beach
the other says Brazaville Congo. They're not far apart are they?

Well -- I asked for a rather exotic bird � We'll see if he has one!!

Do you happen to have a double-breasted eclitorus that has been mated to a cockrtoo.
If not, maybe you know someone who does.
Please advise.

I wrote to him yesterday:

Quote:

Dear Sir,

I understand that you are in the business of selling rare birds. I am looking for a female bald eagle to mate with the male bald eagle that I own, Stephen Jr.

My building manager Tad tried to obtain a female bald eagle for me, but he was unsuccessful. He actually brought back a chicken. But that is neither here nor there.

In short, I need an eaglet. Can you or someone you know help me?

Sincerely,
Dr. St3eph3en T. C0lbert, D.F.A.

I really didn't think I'd hear back from him, but guess what was in my inbox this morning:

Quote:

Can i know where you are located at and how soon you need the bird?a male or female either will cost you with shipping 300$.free cage,toys,health guarantee,dna'd papers and food sample.
Thanks

I also got a Canadian yahoo address back from him - [email protected]

The ip address traces back to Kenya. Is that the same result you got, FiveForces?

The webmaster of the site emailed me back today - all instances of the ad have been removed Cool

Thank you for doing that! Very Happy

Thankfully, my mom is feeling better now. She was pretty embarrased that she fell for it. I reassured her that it's not her fault. Thanks again, you guys Very Happy

wow...how lucky am i to have stumbled on this thread. As it turns out, I've ACTUALLY been in the market for a rare breeding pair of blue balled cockatoos... thanks for the heads up on a potential source!!!

Of course he can supply me with a blue parrot. Actually two blue baby parrots who already speak english and a little spanish.
And all of this for 500$ I am the luckiest person in the whole world. Laughing

I heard back from him again:

Quote:

Eb.

Nice use of grammar there Rolling Eyes

I asked for a picture of the eaglet that he is selling me. I want to make sure my eagle, "Stephen Jr.", thinks it is attractive.

Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 7:32 pm

Here is the picture he sent back, I kid you not, of the "eaglet."

Shocked

I really don't know what to write back now. Play dumb and say, "Wow, I've never seen an eaglet like that before! How beautiful!" or slap him for sending me a picture of an OWL. beating

Sure is, my mail bounced though. I've sent it again.

Btw, Worf, DON'T tell him it's an owl. Nobody in their right mind would believe a breeder who doesnt know the difference between an eagle and an owl, so it could save a potential victim.

Wow, what a beautiful eaglet! Laughing

This is so funny.... I knew he'd be a good one to play with. Very Happy

Yeah, I really want to slap him, but I know that would be counterproductive. It just amazes me that he sent me a picture of an owl! Laughing

Worf, why not slap him for sending you a picture of a seagull?
