Scammed on tractor transport - Yesterday's Tractor Co.

the link goes to another forum.. at the bottom of that message is also a link to further info.


in short.. people seeking a hauler are being asked to wire a deposit ( dreen dot money card, walmart monet card, money thru a dollar general.. etc )

and the hauler never shows. different name, different address, lack of a dot number to give out sometimes. seems to be giving out same phone number.. has hit a few people so far.

seems to be targeting online tractor communities.. if he's hit one..it's only a matter of time for hit to find more.

I'm not an avid fan of cross posting.. however.. wanted to warn others.

we've probably all used a hauler before at some time. would hate to see someone here scamemd out of hard earned money, or the grief that follows dealing with the situation afterwards.

The hauler I used did not ask for any advance money.

the one's i've used over the years didn't either. they quoted me a price, i could either accept it or not accept it. they would tell me when a truck would be in the area for pickup, and i would wait til it arrived. when the truck got to my farm, they would unload it, i sign for it, i do a quick run over of the merchandise and away the truck went. i would get a bill in the mail a couple weeks later.
