Victim Location 98229
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I made an ad on craigslist looking for a parrot in need of rehoming. Someone by the name of "Elizabeth" sent me a text saying she has parrots that need to be rehomed. I ask her a question and she never responded. The next day she asks for my email because she was going to send photos of the parrots right away. I wait a few hours and have yet to see the photos. I look up her number that she texted me from and it comes up on google as a number from TX state. I also found the number on a website that allows you to put up ads to sell animals. I look up the number on the animal ad site and found it was used on MULTIPLE posts from different locations with the same puppies they were selling. I found it very sketchy. I told the person I was going to report them and they never said anything. I believe it’s automated and only responds wo specific wording. I asked if they were a spamming bot and I got "I am a legit and honest person" yet any other questions out of context, they would not respond to. This person is a scammer. Here’s a list of ads i found with the same number attached. (Look at the states and number provided in their ads.)
