'I was so anxious to get my chickens that it didn't raise the right red flags.' Valley woman falls victim to potential scam posing as chicken hatchery abc15
That prediction proved true, spurred by people taking up new hobbies and focusing on self-sufficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chicken raising has especially boomed in the last few years.
When it came time to add to her flock, Rickey searched online for a hatchery. She found Edmunds Chicken Farm and Hatchery on Facebook.The hatchery claimed to be in New Mexico, although Rickey never received an exact location, and their Facebook page does not list an address. She was told shipping would be the only option because the distance was too far of a drive."I was so anxious to get my chickens that it didn't raise the right red flags.
According to PayPal's website, personal payments using that option are not covered by PayPal Purchase Protection. Finally, the Facebook page claiming to be the hatchery did not list a physical address or even a phone number, which are red flags."Unfortunately, anytime there's something that people want to get into as a hobby or something like that, [there] is always someone that wants to be a scammer. Somebody wants to make money on your back," Rickey said.
