100% scam.

Two google reviews on the business in DeLand, Florida:

It is worth noting that this establishment is using AI-generated images in their photos. The Google Streetview will show you what the address they have listed actually looks like. I would highly recommend talking to a financial professional before doing any business with someone speaking on behalf of this institution, especially if you have not visited the premises in-person.

After reaching out to my Facebook messenger about purchasing “their” 2015 Corvette Z06 for $23,000 because it had been “repoed” I called the phone number to ask for more information. After informing me that I would need to send the money before the car is delivered to me I asked why they are scamming people to which he immediately hung up and blocked my phone number. I then called from a different phone and he did the same thing. This man has paid for Google and meta ads to intentionally scam people. This entire dealership is fake, as well as all of the 5 star reviews.

Shows that that domain name was started this month….ie scam. The address listed is a warehouse currently for lease

 

[WM75Guy]

Same old scam, send us the money, we will ship it to you for 10-day inspection, if not satisfied we will refund the money. After they get your money, poof, they are gone.

Google street view shows this business.

 

[dodge man]

It looks like he can sell it cheap because the street view makes it look like his overhead would be low.

 

[tradosaurus]

Pay full amount and get your product later. Where have I seen this business model before?

Be Great if one of the police officers would take an interest in that tractor ad and sales location that frequents the Police athletic League- (Building is in the same photo and very close)


Very brazen.

The Kids they mentor could also learn about why scamming is one of the lowest forms of life on earth.

If you ever have to ask that question. Its a scam.

I worked for a small family owned excavating company. The owner loved harleys. He had 4 for him and his wife. Plus he bought the kids a bike. Well one morning he's talking about this bike he found overseas. How great of a deal it was. My immediate reaction was. Your gonna go for a ride. Well he purchased and never received his new bike. Some people are easy targets. Even successful people

Not always true, Remember the active military member that asked about selling an almost new Kubota and attachments here on TBN, that was a great deal and was real. but most To Good to be true are scams.

Sounds like one hell of a deal but I wouldn't trust it. Seems to good to be true. Be very careful,trust your gut. I feel its a scam.

The backgrounds in the picture match the location that my BIL and I bought our tractors. The barn, fence and even the odd bend in the one tree trunk can be seen in various pictures on the LEGIT website. The tractor in the fake ad doesn't show in BWS's current inventory, so I assume it's one they've already sold. BWS has nice clean equipment and this isn't the first fake ad to steal his pictures. Myth busted:

BWS Equip - Quality Used Equipment

I have seen many scam sites use those pictures in the past. Sometimes a Google image search is revealing.

The equipment that BWS has is nice enough that scammers want to hijack their pictures. The L4240 I bought there in early 2019 with just under 1000 hours could have passed for new.
