** Foreign Certified Check Scam **
If you receive a reply from a foreign buyer offering to pay you via a certified check,
BEWARE. It may be counterfeit, even if at first it clears your bank. Be especially
suspicious if the check is for MORE than the amount, and they ask you to send
the
overpayment back to them. It is illegal to export birds out of the country without
a USDA permit which YOU must get and is only given for special reasons.
