Is “TDL Equipments” (tdlequipments.com) a scam copy of the real TDL Equipment (UK)?

Hi everyone,

I came across a site called TDL Equipments while looking for used tractors and utility vehicles online.

The prices on that site are extremely low, which seemed suspicious. When I searched the name, I found there’s a real company in the UK called TDL Equipment (without the “s”) that has been around for years. The new site seems to have copied their name and maybe their listings.

From what I can tell, this “TDL Equipments” website looks very new only 3 weeks old.

Has anyone else seen this site or know if it’s connected to the real TDL Equipment, or could it be a scam copy? I’m curious if anyone can confirm what’s going on here.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Scam-detector.com gives it a 15.5% (lower = more possibility of scam).
Scam sites frequently slightly alter legit domain names, ie: adding the "s".

It appears to be a scam. You could go to the actual site (TDL Equipment - TDL Equipment) and inquire.

I would be very scared! I've seen some that must have been AI Generated. Even a response to an inquiry! Remember, scammers are good at what they do, and must make money, or they would not exist.

It definately looks like a scam. I've learned a lot from a YouTube channel called Pleasant Green, it might be worth watching a few videos.

WOW! I have had a lot of scams presented, and I rue the day when I don't recognize them. Again, due diligence. Google maps the address, look for reviews. Even the reviews may be fake. Not sure how to make a good determination.

Haha. Entertaining and educational. I've seen some of his videos in the past.
