I have deleted the links to prevent accidentally going to that site. Quite disgusting and blatant cons...and not that I highlighted aol's advice in green!
Can you imagine how scary this could be to some elderly widow? If you know of ANYONE who is vulnerable to these scams, please warn them...and show them what to look out for!
Notice too the lack of facility or acquaintance with spell check!

PetsMart

I don't know if the rest of you have PetsMart stores in your area, but the ones here in the Cincinnati area are INFESTED with small brown bugs. I've checked two local stores; both were the same. This leads me to believe that their distribution hubs are infested, and it is not an individual store problem.

I have bought two bags of bird food and one bag of dog food. Both were infested; I WAS FURIOUS that I fed that to the bird! The dogs are hardy, but the cockatoo... GRRRRR!!!!

I've been using a small, indie feed store since; not quite as convenient, but very clean.

If 'yall have pets and a PetsMart, be VERY careful. Also, my job has provided me with 'insider info' that PetCo has the same problem, but worse.
