Is it a scam?

[Nick X]

Hi, can anybody help? ... Been talking to Anderson Farms, Tractors and plant based machinery(Isle of Man) about buying a machine... Are they legit? Alarm bells ringing in my head after talking to the guy

I've no idea but if after speaking to him you are suspicious, walk away.

Isle of Man? Massive ferry charges to move stuff back and for to the main land for starters. Where is that building go on Google earth, street view their address. Don't part with your cash untill your sitting in it! Is my advice.

Thankyou, problem is I'm not based in England so can't see myself being able to sit in it 1st...so yes prepared for a massive shipping fee, but terrified these guys are not legit!

I'd say scam. Having been to the Isle of Man in a lorry I'd also say it won't be cheap transport from there.

My initial thought too... He had v broken English.. Searched their website though, seems legit though

I was prepared for transport not being cheap (as I'm not England based) and they said they'd organize it all... Never been to the Isle of man but seemed strange to me that it's based there!

Yes an amazing review from Oliver Noah Brown.. and google earth showing a yard without a hint of a machine for sale...

 

[john432]

Quite obvious a scam, just send the fools further, ask for a photo of the reg documents etc, the service book, serial number of the engine etc, even the radio fitted .cos they won't have the info!

 

[farmerm]

They look ver convincing but ask @Tom_the_Tractor he posted them on the scam pages. https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/scam-chasers-scam-website-list.250514/page-6
