Seen a load of these coming up lately

A 7710 an 8210 a TW20 all in good looking shape but for 3500 to 4 grand
They are a different style of scam ad because the language and English is good enough not to cause suspicion

Be warned !

This is one example
It was removed off donedeal pretty sharpish but still is on ebay and a few other sites

Has anyone phoned about the deeres and other tractors on the autotrader
They seem cheap and have a phone number from another country but there there full time every week
I think they are in antrim I never rang cause I thought it was a scam but ads
were never removed

There's a story in todays farmers journal about a woman who lost 5k on one of these scams so they're catching people out alright.

Few up on Donedeal at the moment a Case and a Ford 8210 both at less than €5k each! If it looks too good to be true it probably is too good to be true
