My guess, once you ask for the serial #... it was either stolen or an imaginary tractor. I would be very concerned about the seller and give the police the number to go check it out.
If there is a phone number - doesn't that make it a federal crime? I have no idea if it is... I always thought that if a scam was posted, everyone that knew it was one should replied with fake information... wouldn't that screw up the scam by flooding their mail box?
I do feel sorry for the people who fall for this... One of the "cheap" tractors came up on Craig's list and was flagged and taken down... a couple had posted "to the man selling the M4700 for $3,000 - contact us!" I sent them an e-mail saying that it was a scam... they replied to me; "We want to buy it!!!" Thinking I had the tractor I should have said, send me a check and the tractor will be in the mail....
