Internet Fraud Alert - Scams

While most people are good, honest folks - there are a few scams on the internet that you should be aware of before selling or buying items. Click Here for the Internet Crime Complaint Center (FBI)


NEW SCAM ALERT: Sellers are responding to YT photo ad and classified ad inquiries with the following False information. Yesterday's Tractors does not sell or broker tractors or any third party items. Actual email example:

Yes is still available for sale and thank you for your interest in my 1997 NEW HOLLAND 7740SL 4X4 86 HP.The total price is :4,400 Usd (shipping included) I worked in USA for the past 6 months and I purchased the tractor there. My company wanted me back home,so currently I'm in Italy. I didn't bring it home with me because the tractorhave US Standard,and so it's difficult driving it in Italy. The tractor is in good condition,as no technical damage at all,no scratches or dents,no hidden defects,no smoking.Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership,cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it. The tractor is now located at the Yesterday' Tractor Headquarters in Columbus,Oh.

The tractor will be shipped and insured by Yesterday's Tractor Headquarters so every single step of our transaction will be supervised by Yesterday's Tractors. They will act as a 3rd party for our transaction. You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.To be able to receive or pick up the tractor you'll have to make a $990 USD deposit.The rest of money you will send me when you will receive,verify and register the tractor on your name. After you inspect the tractor if anything seems wrong you'll be able to receive a refund. Please send me your full name and shipping address to forward them to Yesterday's Tractor. They will contact you with all the information you need. Thanks for your interest,please feel free to email me any questions or concerns you may have.


Counterfeit Cashier's Check & Money Transfer Scams


1. Distant buyer offers a high-value (but fake) cashier's check in exchange for your item

  • you receive an odd email (actual examples sent to YT sellers below) offering to buy your item site unseen.
  • cashier's check is offered for your sale item, as a deposit for an apartment, or just about anything else.
  • value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item - buyer asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service
  • banks will often cash these fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK FAILS TO CLEAR
  • scam often involves a 3rd party (shipping agent, business associate owing buyer money, etc)
2. Distant seller requests payment via Western Union or MoneyGram:
  • seller often claims that an MTCN or confirmation code is needed before he can withdraw your money - this is FALSE, once you've wired money, it is GONE.
  • common items currently: laptops, plasma TVs, cell phones, tickets - but could be almost anything - including antique tractors.
  • common countries currently include: Nigeria, Romania, Ukraine, Spain, UK, Italy, Netherlands - but could be anywhere
  • deal often seems too good to be true
3. Distant seller offers to send you a cashier's check and then have you wire money:
  • this is ALWAYS a scam, in our experience - the cashier's check is FAKE
  • sometimes accompanies an offer of merchandise, sometimes not
  • scammer often asks for your name, address, etc for printing on the fake check
  • deal often seems too good to be true
4. Distant seller suggests use of an online escrow service.
  • most online escrow sites are FRAUDULENT, operated by scammers
  • for more info, do a google search on "fake escrow" or "escrow fraud"
  • if you must do business with a distant seller, insist on a legitimate service, such as www.escrow.com
5. distant seller asks for a partial payment upfront, after which he will ship goods
  • he says he trusts you with the partial payment
  • he may say he has already shipped the goods
  • deal often sounds too good to be true
We've blocked a lot of IP ranges, had numerous scammer emails blocked, and are monitoring federal scam information sites in an attempt to curtail these kind of scams .. in the meantime, it's BUYER BEWARE.

for local police help, call the non-emergency police number in your local phone book.

For governmental assistance, you can contact the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, or call the FTC toll-free at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or use the complaint form at www.ftc.gov, or call the Canadian PhoneBusters hotline toll-free at 1-888-495-8501.

This is a purchase enquiry in response to your advertised ad ( 1945 John Deere A R ) for sale. Let you know that one or two pic(s) of this would really be a driving force for me to proceed from here. And if there is a change in the advertised state & condition, then let me know. Th is is also to bring to your attention that payment will be issued in the mode of a Certified Cashiers Banker's Check . Anyway, l'd made enquiry for this just because of the passion for it. Particularly my wife who is monitoring and makin g sure that l embark on this purchase. And I would appreciate it even more if on your part you would handle this trans action successfully ( exhibit a high level of professoinalism, sincerity ), as I do take a giant step in purchasing it. All shipping expenses/ handling and proceedings to my home shall be taken care of by me - ( l am seeing into the shipme nt myself because l do owe an allegiance to the shipping company that is going to handle the shipment, hence my stickin g with them). And the payment shall (upon my requests and instructions to my Financial group ) be issued/ made payabl e and post mailed to you. Hence I do require the following payment informations so as to forward them for an immedia te payment issuance ; -YOUR FINAL ASKING PRIVE ? -NAME AS IT IS TO APPEAR ON THE CHECK ? -CONTACT ADDRESS OF THE RECI PIENT ? -CONTACT PHONE NUMBER ? (so I could call you if need be). *Note* All informations given shall be kept confide ntial and only be used for this transaction. Once again thanks for the confidence in me and l do Look forward to a su ccessful transaction with you in good faith and trust. Thanks for the understanding. Sincerely, David O.Powell

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t ...
