Hi I too have just paid for a tractor on the 10th July and like others I got the same story. It never came ,was to be delivered another day, never came again and then all communication ceases.
Basically you loose your money unless the bank and police freeze the NatWest account they are using and their is still enough money in it to pay victim. It sounds by the website that the delay in delivery is probably to give them time to move money from account to possibly an offshore account. I notified citizens advice who said ask them for a refund! Surprisingly there're was no reply from them. I notified fraud action and it alarms me that even though it has been reported by other members from the 6th July the website is still in operation. I also rang the NatWest bank and informed them one of their customers accounts was criminal activity and it needed freezing.They told me thanks for reporting it but couldn't tell me anything else apart from the police would need to contact them. I think everbody needs to ring up the NatWest bank fraud squad and complain,and also fraud action.It does say on fraud action crime report not all reports can be acted on. THIS NEEDS STOPPING IMMEDIATELY because many innocent victims are having their money stolen.I welcome other peoples feedback.

been trying to get in contact with this site, it seems to have several items at a little below normal prices, and asks you contact them by email, but you do not get a reply. it could be nothing, but by chance i found this site talking about scams, so thought it may be worth a mention, i have tried phoning, but the number is not in use,
company name is afak plant sales, i would normally not think any thing about it, but not being able to phone has set alarm bells .

Come on, they got a New Valtra on there home page, then you look on the 1st tractor page, and its all early 90s stuff at cheap prices, there is no dealer margin in there pricing, its farm sale price and good at that, dont think i will be driving to London any time soon.:eek:

Agree fully why the hell would someone buy a machine they have not looked at for god knows how much when there could be a thousand things wrong with it and as to saying they are to busy to go look its crazy
