Scam chaser's scam website list

My full-time job is recovery of stolen funds associated with authorised push payment fraud. The money is recovered from banks, usually once it has been demonstrated that money laundering and/or payment services regulations were breached.
I’ve been approached by the BBC with regard to a programme feature currently being made about farmers who have fallen victim to online vehicle fraud, probably non-existent tractors but also other plant and machinery used on farms. If you are a victim and paid by bank transfer please get in touch. Can’t promise anything but this kind of publicity often leads to full refunds so that the bank in question saves face.
Any loss incurred after 2014 qualifies for an investigation.
This is my first post.

Hi Jack

We were scammed in March 2020 by leinsterplantandmachinery.co.uk. I would be interested in talking to you further about it. Is there an email I can contact you on?

Thanks,
Mark

Just been caught by this lot... https://www.actionplantmachinery.co.uk/plant-machinery/
Unfortunately alarm bell rang too late for us & we lost full payment + delivery on a mini-digger.
Using a legit company name, VAT no. Company director Gillian Irving, based in Cramlington, Northumberland. Websites now inactive, no replies to email/phone.

Same here! Same company made a full payment for a JCB digger and was never send to us

Hi Jack.
I need some help here please. A family member living in France bought two tractors from England online in May 2020 , having viewed them on a company's website. The invoice showed a genuine company name and address but the bank details we now know were those of the scammers (although a look at companies house accounts for the LTD, shows the company in 2019 declared £0.5Mln debts and assets of only £50k. Could the genuine company have run the scam itself ? ).

Soon after my cousin's payment of nearly 10,000 Euros, the scammer's website went down and the email address (which is only slightly different to the name of the legit Co.) was put up as an alert on the web.
Too late!
He has been trying to get a refund from his bank in France all this time , but they have denied liability. After all they only had to check the IBAN was correct for the purpose of the transfer of the funds, in my opinion. What do yousuppose are the chances of holding HSBC Birmingham responsible for opening an account to fraudsters and of reclaiming the money from them ?
There is also a possibility of furthering the case in France, but we need to prove the case by showing the discrepancy between the correct bank account of the legit firm in UK and that of the scammers.
How can we get around this ?
Your advice is much appreciated.
Dean

I can only help if the sending bank is in the UK
 
Seems a good buy . 🙄

This is a scam, I am from BP PLANT SALES LIMITED, someone has stolen our company name, address and VAT number to scam people into buying machinery, the website 'bpplant.co.uk' is fake and the phone number is not ours. Do not give them any money for machinery you will not receive anything.

Hi - I'm new here. Not a farmer, just someone who thought they'd bought a mini digger...

... I am increasingly convinced I've just been scammed by these people:

J Z Machinery UK Ltd. Company No. 10175396​

Birmingham, West Midlands, B18 6BS , United Kingdom


All highly plausible and I foolishly paid the requested sum when goods were allegedly ready to ship. Does anyone else have experience of this firm?

Hi,

Can somebody tell me if this is trustworthy dealer : RAIL & PLANT SOLUTIONS LTD / www.rail-plant.com ? I Haven’t been able to find any information on it yet so hoping you guys know something. I was in contact with them with someone called Lucas Martins and they told me that all the machinery are located in Spain, and from here I had suspicions, an English company but with the yard in Spain.
Maybe there is someone located in East Street, Faversham, Kent, England, ME13 area who can provide more information ?


Thank you!

Thank you!
If you fall for those prices you deserve what you get IMO. £17.200 for a 2011 John Deere 6430 Premium
For sure this dealer is fraud, don't send any money, go to your local police and report them

Hi

Just been scammed by ads-limited or ADS Equipment, it's another fraud using a UK company number etc. Spoke to Jack Buster and he's keen to talk to anyone else who's fallen for the same website.

Sincere apologies to all those who asked me to contact them earlier this year. I'm afraid I rarely visit this forum so I was unaware, and for some reason the messages/posts were not brought to my attention by email. It shouldn't make any difference however. So if you were a victim of authorised push payment fraud and the sending bank is UK domiciled, email me here: [email protected]
