Dodgey tractor ads

jc bamford

In the last few days a load of ads for very fresh tractors and machinery at very cheap prices have appeared in Adverts.ie. They contain links to a very impressive looking .co.uk website. It appears the same ads were up on Done Deal but DD have taken them down as being not genuine. Anyone who replies on Adverts is encouraged to visit the .co.uk website. Does anybody know what is going on?

I think I read here somewhere that you come with the cash and your mugged basically,sure there's a topic on it somewhere.

I'd stay away anyway.

Clear scams.
I know a very intelligent man who wired 17k sterling based on an autotrader ad for a too good to be true John deer.

There was a mf 265 on EBAY in UK and i messaged them to see if i could go and look at it, they said it was in Germany but they would send it over to me at no cost and if i did not like it there was no problem. I did not go any further with it but assume there would be a request for a cash transfer at some stage before it got to me.

Look lads its as simple as this I'm a main dealer for a leading brand of tractor and I can assure you don't be stupid if it looks too good to be true it usually is !! simple as that. You'd be far better off going to your local dealer or at the very least a dealer in this country if your still not sure ask if they're a member of the FTMTA = farm tractor machinery trader association and you can be sure your dealing with a legit dealer / supplier ,no risk surely thats worth a few extra quid ? and who knows if you get one of us on a good (or bad day depending on the situation ! ) you might even get a bargain win win situation !!
