Fairly obvious scam.
Why on Earth would you have an operation apparently in that scale with huge shipping costs shipping machines in and out?
What did he say exactly to cause suspicion?

Scammers always use an obscure location so no one will come to view
What u after?
Where are you?Believe me we have been looking, for a long time... Not alot of good machinery left around here which is why we are searching further afield

Obvious scam,i only looked at the front page,all the prices are too low.
Ahh really, I was wondering about the phone number... And also what to do now I know they are scammers...i mean surely I need to tell 'somebody' so nobody else falls for it??
In Greece... Looking for a mini escavator , any recommendations on where to actually look would be very welcome!
Basically his broken English caused suspicion but also the fact that the shipping costs were suddenly included in the price we saw advertised!

I enquired about wanting the Class Axion ,810,and haven't heard anything back. My guess is that these scamers now probably have a data base of time wasters.

The ISP should shut down the fraudulent domain and provide the police with the contact and account details of the person paying for the domain... but which police force, an isp in one territory for a web domain in another for a fraudster somewhere else entirely..
, in the meantime search engines should all delist the domain and the scammers phone number should be disabled by the network provider and all recent contracts to that number be sent a warning...but that is not how things work and so these guys never get caught and never loose out.
