    Total scam. I hate that shit.

    I have a scarlet and a catalina (and a moluccan cockatoo too). All of them came from rescues because they had been abused/abandoned and they *still* cost a crap ton. One was $500 without a cage, one was $800 without a cage, and the other was $500 with a cage, and these were birds that were considered too far gone to be pets ever again. Lord help me if they were friendly, they would have cost more.

    Yes, my house is the loudest house you've ever been to. Keeps people from coming over.

    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    Well we've got the puppy and we're getting a ragdoll kitten sometime within the next week so I think we're probably good on animals for the moment

    Oh. wow. I just googled it and it was taken down. It was a staple in the Cameroon Wikipedia because of an uprise of scams coming from that country in early 2007.

    There are other sources on google if you search "cameroon scams".

    It shows you how they work and why.
