The usual spiel is that the scum find a “genuine” plant/small tractor trader etc. - one that has a reasonable search on CH accounts etc on file - but that does not have an active website or internet presence. That is the donor.

Next the scum set up a bogus website / perhaps with some fake phone details. This could even be the ‘right’ area code to match the address on CH records of the donor company to make tge scam website seem genuine (if they cleverly setup a VoIP phone service, they can take calls from Bermuda).

Hey presto, pull in the punters searching online for bargains with offers too good (waaaay too good of you have your wits about you / greed hasn’t completely taken leave of your senses) - fakedy fake email/phone contact details and rake the cash in over BACS for mystery deposits or full payments.

Meanwhile the donor company has no idea their corporate ID has been nicked and is being used for no good. When the suckered punters come knocking at the door, they’re as clueless about what’s just happened as the punters who’s money has vanished, with no machine to be seen.

I can't find it now, just typed in tractors for sale and it came up the first page,
fudging scammers

Graham Dawson Plant Services is a scam website using the business registration details of a one man band in Matlock, tractor photos pinched from RJ & KD Mclean website but details of the company , including history, a staff of about thirty and a smiling MD, large premises with banners flying that I have not yet managed to identify. This has been reported to Action Fraud and to both companies whose details have been fraudulently used .

Thats dreadful, I'm still looking around for a tractor, half of them on eBay are scams
never thought it would be that hard.

Fraudsquad at the MET sussed them out using reverse imaging. Turns out that the "staff " are actually employees of a German company

Also watch out on Ebay. Anyone with a very limited history selling something just that little bit too cheap is probably a scammer. There are several tractors just now check the case steyr and several of the Deere. I almost got caught out back in August

Hi there are specialist companies who apparently hold billions of images from the web and they have the software to almost instantly cross reference them ie. where have they been posted before
