DennisThornton 4,769 #1 Posted March 2, 2021 I see these everyday! I follow them and "FLAG" them! Everyday! Religiously! But what do these folks hope for? This is an especially stupid and poorly worded ad, but even if it had been a BX for $1000? How does the SCAMMER hope to prevail? Someone is supposed to call and give them what? Site unseen? I know, there's one born every minute but really?n Yeah, I'll take 10 for the first order! ;';';'Tractor model: BX25D,;';';';'; - $1,000 © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap condition: excellent delivery available Kubota BX=25D backhoe with 10-1/2" bucket; tractor has ROPS, 3-pt hitch with top link, after-market receiver hitch, and they all drink from the bottle quite well. CD&T shots given. These are Katadins (hair lambs). Will send with you some milk we use, alfalfa pellets and hay, if needed. These make great pets, very mild mannered. Right now we feed them three to four times a day, and not during the night. Would love to help someone get into raising sheep. We also have two more bottle lambs, but grandkids have them named and they haven't seen these little darlings yet. Call: 80two 444-1three97. Price $1000each. Thanks 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of coarse I did not exchange any money, I just wanted to see what the angle was. It was fun countering every statement by the scammer with my ability to do a cash & carry deal face to face. When a unsuspecting person calls on this they will get some story and will be told that the tractor is some place crated up and ready for delivery and as soon as payment is made with extra delivery fee it will be delivered to the buyer. NOT !!!! Scammer takes the payment for a tractor that doesn't exist, buyer is out the money and will never be able to contact the seller again. Sad to say but some people actually fall for this crap. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,308 #3 Posted March 3, 2021 I have been looking to buy a Kubota one size larger, preferably a B2601. Watching Craigslist and Facebook yields numerous scams and a few good buys that are sold immediately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just call F&S Supply in Scranton and write a check for about $20k and you can have one (they deliver) no hassle no fraud... 1 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,321 #5 Posted March 3, 2021 I had a scammer like that wanted me to send a wire transfer to the shipper and when it was delivered if I was totally satisfied I could send payment at that time, if I wasn't happy the shipper would take it back. In conversation I had the would be scam seller tell me where the $ 500 like new 523DXI was located. I told him I was only a few miles from there and would come over to look at it. Guess he figured I acutely was close to the fictitious location because he kept making excuses for why he couldn't show it to me. Sounded a bit like a cat in a litter pan trying to cover up their business. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to their website and they don't show used equipment. Perhaps you know if they have a B2601 new or used, with a hoe? Maybe you could stop by and pick out a nice one for me and save me a trip? I talked to local dealers and even new ones are hard to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
