This came from the "Town & Country Feathered Friends" club newsletter,

"There are a couple guys from the Grand Rapids, MI area who are calling
breeders wanting to sell a pair of Congo African Greys and babies that
they "can not keep" and need to sell quickly. The deal goes like this:
'Send half the money in a cashier's check and the balance later. They
have references who are real people, including their veterinarian. The
babies are fed Exact and Avigard, and these guys know other language
common among breeders and bird owners.'
Once they have your cashiers check, they can no longer be reached, and
the buyer is out the money sent.
A friend of ours from New Mexico called as this newsletter was being put
together, telling me she had just been taken for $500. She has heard
from other breeders that she knows who were victims also.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! It's possible that they may not be calling
Michigan people, but it never hurts to be careful."
