Company details

The operator publishes these contact claims on the site.

Advertised machine

The listing presents a 2022 Bobcat T870. Engine hours are listed at 1,865 and the asking price is $19,175. These specifications and the price appear on the listing page as the seller's own claims; this publication has not independently inspected the machine.

The published entry includes the model year, hours and the single price figure above. No attached inspection report or bill of sale copy is published on the listing page with the unit details.

Payment and missing delivery

According to the buyer's account, the purchaser sent $19,175 by bank wire to complete the transaction and never received the Bobcat T870. The payment method reported was a direct bank transfer.

A bank wire is a payment rail that typically completes quickly and does not provide the payer with a card network chargeback mechanism. Banks can sometimes attempt a recall or open a fraud inquiry, but those processes depend on the receiving institution and are not guaranteed to return funds. That general characteristic means a wire payment often gives the payer less practical recourse than card payments or escrow services.

This account shows the core transactional break point: payment was made by wire and no delivery followed. The combination of an irrevocable payment rail and a missing shipment is the primary reason for the scam assessment in this record.

Red flags

• The listing advertises a 2022 Bobcat T870 and specifies engine hours of 1,865 alongside a single asking price of $19,175; the listing does not publish a downloadable inspection report.
• According to the buyer's account, $19,175 was sent by bank wire and the machine was not delivered.
• The domain was registered on 2026-08-25 and was only 42 days old when this record was compiled.
• The domain registration shows a privacy or proxy service masking the registrant details.
• No dealer license numbers or USDOT identifiers are published on the site pages where business details appear.
• The site provides a single contact phone number and an email address that match the published operator claims but include no corroborating business registration links.

What to verify before paying

• Confirm how long the domain has been registered and whether the registrant details are public in a WHOIS record.
• Ask the seller for verifiable dealer licensing, a written bill of sale, and a current owner title document before any transfer of funds.
• Insist on an in-person inspection or an independent third-party inspection report, and obtain clear photo verification that matches serial numbers on the machine.
• Avoid sending a bank wire unless you have verified identity, documentation, and an escrow arrangement that protects release of funds against delivery or title transfer.
• Check the phone number and email for history online and run reverse image searches on the listing photos to see if the same images appear elsewhere.

This record uses the machine details and the reported payment to explain why the transaction failed to result in delivery, and what specific checks to run before wiring funds in similar listings.
