Here is the scam with puppies

[Roost em 1st]

There has been comment on this scam already on this forum but here is a reply to a for sale add placed on this sights classified section. For anyone who doesn't know or hasn't seen this scam I figured I'd post it. The check will be bogus so no one fall for this. Maybe I should answer Mr. Wilson and try to find out where he is.

I used to breed and sell Cockatiels with ads all over the internet, I used to get this kind of stuff all the time. I never followed through cause why would anyone send a $5000.00 check for a $150.00 bird. It didnt sit right with me kind of like a red flag.
