Warning Beware of anyone wanting to buy a tractor sight unseen and wanting to have someone oweing them money to send you a check for over the amount. What they do is have you cash the check and send the balance Western Union to them. In the mean time the check bounces and you are stuck for the amount set. I was almst taken in but the way he was doing things didn't seem right. He realy didn't even seem to care about what he was buying or know much about it. Anyway just didn't want to see anyone taken by this guy.

Sometime ago I sold a fellow some hay. He acted a little suspicious but trusting as I am, I took his cheque. Next day I went to his bank to see if there was enough funds and suprise suprise there wasn't. He was short something like $500. I figured I can be screwed for $2500 or $500 so I deposited $500 of my own into his account and then cashed his cheque. He called me a couple of days latter quit upset I cleaned his account out!! Sorry sucker

It's always a good idea to remind folks that this SCAM is still alive and well. New people are always joining the "tractor club" and getting their first tractor exposure on this site.
"A fool and his money are soon parted." Unfortunately, all the warnings in the world won't keep a fool from being foolish.

There is a simple rule to follow in deals like this. "In God we trust all others pay cash"

This has been around for months, look down about a 1/2 a page you'll see a warning about it; look on page 2 & you'll see a couple warnings.... Sure doesn't hurt to let people know tho. ;)

So, why would anyone even consider such a deal, seems pretty obvious it's a scam from the very first paragraph they write?????

Its called GREED.
They are playing on the GREED of the victim.
I am still debateing if this is a victimless crime or not.
