Looked at the Classifieds Ads this morning and it looks like they are scam ads. Has anyone checked them out? Lee

I used to place some ads on another website for farm equipment. Everything seemed to go just fine, legitimate buyers or sellers till about five years ago. Since then most any ad I placed was answered almost immediately by someone from another country who would have his represenative come buy and leave me a cashiers check, counterfit of course, and haul away what I was selling. No thanks, if I want to give it away I'll give it to someone honest. My banker told me a while back all of the reasons that a cashiers check is so easy to forge, but I don't tremember it all now, he will not accept one unless he calls the bank where it was written. Frank. ....

Ok this is a riot! I sent him an email asking what was his asking price. I got the following message which displayed beautiful pictures of what looked like an almost new Tractor that had to worth almost an order of magnitude more. This he offerd to me for $2700 shipped anywhere in the US within 5 days.
Some deal, oh yeash! In his reply you can see the obvious lack of understanding of english as well as the total lack of understanding of what a tractor is worth. I thought this guy had used the price field incorrectly, but no he is just the dumbest scammer there is.

I just have to laugh at the "let me tell you some words about it" statement, what planet is he from, $2700 including shipping. I just shipped 12 ounces to Indiana for 5 bucks LOL.
I'll let you know if he has a comeback for a onsite visit in Texas ;) ....

Do a reverse trace on the IP he posted from, I bet he posted from an internet cafe in Africa somewhere......
I have a great deal of fun playing with guys like this myself.
My favourite line is "What luck!!! My brother is a policeman in (insert target location) and has time to go there and look at it for me right after work today, if he likes it he will leave a deposit for me. Please get right back to me with exact directions and contact information!!!"
Best of luck. ....

So here is Teddy's reply:
"I am planning to list the tractor on eBay.com I have a good feedback there.
If you agree , and if you are interested to buy this tractor please, contact me and I will list the item using the buy it now option for a smooth transaction on Ebay.com.
Regarding the payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use Ebay Motors Vehicle Purchase Protection Program which will hold the payment until you receive the tractor.However , it is 100% refundable if the tractor is not as described.Please let me know soon because i must to sell it.
Thank you
"

Well he could not take my double asking price offer because he already listed it on Ebay. Now it says that the tractor is in North Dakota instead of in Texas as he listed it here on Tractorpoint. He is listed as 100% satisfaction level ebay seller with 315 sales.
All the items are for goofy soft goods like toaster covers etc no equopment. Sounds like identity theft to me. ....

Well, it appears as though somebody has reported the fraudulent auction to ebay, as the auction has since been terminated. Many thanks to the unknown person who did this. I thank you.

DennisCTB,
Ebay's auction removal system doesn't update itself any too quickly. I typed in the auction number in the search box. The auction is no longer listed. I tried adding the auction to my watch list, but that didn't work.
I'm confident that the auction has been terminated. However, if you click on the link posted above, it will still appear, due to the fact that ebay hasn't yet cleared its archives.
This is not to say that the auction hasn't been relisted. I haven't yet checked up on this.
Joel ....

Dear friends,
The ebay seller mentioned above has attempted to sell the same tractor in six different ebay auctions. He has also listed a B7500 tractor for $2700.00, for a total of 7 different auctions.
All seven auctions have been terminated. The seller no longer has any auctions listed on ebay.
Joel ....
