 Topic: Are these scams?
Posted: 21 Dec 2022 at 4:56pm |

Ran across 2 items now both were kind of cheap for what they were. I think they are a scam. 1st was a skid loader and it was at a broker's place in Duluth Minnesota and they will deliver the machine to you, and you have 5 days to try it then the transaction goes thru. Today we found a John Deere tractor and after correspondence back and forth they say Ebay will handle the transaction, and you will have 5 days to try the machine.

Generally scammers use low price to lure you in. If you have doubts, make the sign of the cross and slowly back away... 
If you put up some links you will get more responses... HTH

Had a Pickup listed like that a few years back and showed it on a lot here in MN , well seems it got moved out east somewhere BUT was assured E-Bay would handle the deal and deliver truck here for FREE and would have those 5 days to decide .
Few days later a message cam up that the picture and the dealer said he had nothing to go with the deal and he figured it was a SCAM .
lady selling it sent me several e-mails saying she was ready to sell as soon as i sent a deposit and gave the address where hte delivery needed to be routed -
HMMM - Was a good deal to pass on and keep my funds safe !

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

I was trying to buy a pedal car and tractor 60 miles from me for a friend. He was asking 150 each sent him a message and told him I would give him half that for both. He agreed and everytime i emailed him I was coming to pick them up he had an excuse why he wouldn't be there. Saved my money and gave him a nice review Figured he hijacked someone's legitimate and never actually had them. They are out there everywhere.
