The scammer has a website selling construction equipment (backhoes, skid steers, etc.). I inquired about a backhoe and filled out a form to purchase it. I was sent a purchase agreement through what seemed to be a docusign website. Something just wasn't right about the purchase agreement. It was only 2 pages, and stated at the bottom I could sign, scan and email back. This was different than any other docusign process I have used with banks or other businesses. The serial number of the backhoe that was listed on the purchase agreement did not match the serial number in a photo they had sent of the data plate for the backhoe. The serial number according to the manufacturer of the backhoe should have been an 8 digit number, and the company had listed a 17 digit number. The 17 digit numbers were used in later models, according to the manufacturer. Another item of concern is that they list on their website that you have to pay 100% of the purchase price up front before the equipment will be shipped. Standard practice for most businesses is to pay a percentage of the purchase price as a deposit, and then pay the remainder when the item is delivered (usually COD with the delivery driver). According to Google maps, the address and street view does not match what they have on their website as a store front. I searched the street location extensively through Google maps and their business is not located at the address given on their website. The website seems very legit, but please beware as it is most likely a scam. Unfortunately, they have my contact information.
