I can not make out what you are saying,,so I will delete my post an put it on the other site hopefully they are more amicable.
What @Highland Mule is saying is that by posting the name of a suspected scam business/site on a trusted and highly ranking site (this one), it can cause Google to rank the said site higher, although as they're likely to find this thread not sure it would be much good, but people see a very low price, to good to be true and get caught out wanting to buy it quickly.

Always go and see the said machine if there is any doubt whatsover, or but from a trusted dealer, might be more expensive, but will be much cheaper in the long run.
 
Hello Tony and thank you so much for your email!
My apologies for the slow reply, I was out of office because I’ve had a tracheotomy surgery

The 2006 John Deere 2520 that you are interested in, is still available
In the present climate regarding global economy we set a low price to guarantee a sale. Now we are selling this tractor with Lewis Backhoe & Loader for £5900 Net Amount (excluding VAT)
All prices shown on our website will be subject to VAT at 20%
This tractor has been verified by our authorized mechanics and is in perfect working condition, all necessary documents are available. The hours are only 758 . This tractor was recently serviced and is ready to go straight to work. A real bargain.
The tractor is currently held in our warehouse but we have no specialized personnel available there to arrange a viewing/pick up of the vehicle ( Shortage of workers ) . As I said, I've had a tracheotomy surgery just few days ago and I'm not completely recovered to go to work. At the moment I only do online sales. We have our own Logistic Division and we can offer you delivery services at reasonable rates. In order to minimise the costs of our transactions, we are billing only the fuel.
If you are interested or if you need more information just let us know and we will be happy to assist you.


Thanks and regards!

Noticed a good number of their tractors are photos taken from another genuine dealers website who I have bought from (and just notified, recognising the setting of the photos). Clearly JZ are dubious at best and having read the response above, do not trust them with your money unless you visit in person, and even then, be careful!
Brunodog13 - I can give you the details of a very genuine dealer who I have used and is 100% straight who could assist as he has similar machines in stock - PM me if interested

For clarity, I'm fairly sure that the company is perfectly legitimate and part of an owned portfolio run by the person named. I strongly suspect that they don't have a website though, and someone else has found the company name and is trying to base a scam on their credentials. Nobody files accounts for a few years to set up a scam, plenty find a reasonably sounding company without an online presence and make a fictitious website claiming to be them.

It never fails to amaze me that people struggle to get their heads around the idea that a genuine company can exist, and that a website purporting to be representing that company may not be in any way related to the person(s) who own the company, and can be set up by anyone anywhere in the world. That a website is no different to someone sending you a letter purporting to be from a company and offering all manner of cheap goodies for cash, or indeed a person turning up on your doorstep doing the same. I don't understand what it is about websites that engender such high degrees of trust in people.
