Description

I contacted Chatty talkative parrots about an African grey parrot by the name of Betty listed for $1600. Supposedly the owner of the company, Jeffery Taylor, text me with lots of information, pictures and videos. We also did a google meet call. When it came time for payment there were some options all of which requested the funds be transferred to his accounts debit card since she handles all of his business transactions. Then a tracking number issued by another fraudulent company, Skyline Courier Express Limited, was sent to me. Then that company emailed me with instructions that said another $700 was needed for pet insurance for delivery.
