If you trade enough sooner or later you will let your guard down and one gets you. I am guilty of that. He got me. It will cost me $1055 if they don't have to dissemble the trans. completely. If they do I am out the additional expense plus cost of towing the tractor to two different dealers. It will be fixed by next week I hope. I need it on my farm.

Tom Jones is slicker than snot. HE IS ONE OF THE BETTER, SLICKER ONES. He is a professional scammer. The second best liar I have ever seen. The other one I knew was so bad that lying Wink was his nickname and if you ever quoted him you had to pay whoever you were talking to $50 just to listen. We learned not to quote him too much! LOL!

Tom is ranting and raving about my 66 Chevy 11 that he traded for "rolling chassis only". Tom's brother in law Johnny helped me pull the motor and trans. while Tom walked around and pretended he didn't know anything. Some scammers do that you know. That way it is hard to hold them responsible. You get "I didn't know," He is real proud of it and should be. It is not everyday you can trade a broken down switched tractor to someone for a nice Chevy 11 like this. He thinks it is worth $28000 now and is already misrepresenting it. He has pulled all his ad's now but I have them.

Bottom line: ad. 2066300 false advertisement of someone else's tractor that Tom never owned. It is the same model etc. but 2 years newer and belongs to Abele Tractor and Equipment in Albany NY. Nice tractor. This is the one I thought I was trading for. Not only that, Tom took his picture from their ad. It's still on their site. Tom and I even discussed the backhoe on the back and Tom advised me he didn't get the backhoe with the tractor.
He assured me the tractor is in new condition and it looks it doesn't it. He did mention on the phone that it was a little dirty. You will see the setup.

Look at the pic. he posted on the other ad. 2083774. A little dirty isn't it. See where he was going in the scam. It's also got a top and no backhoe. Same tractor model, just 2 years older and not in new condition. Maybe just dirty. If you deliver it in the middle of a cold night in a rain storm most people wouldn't know the difference. The broken transmission will not noticed either. It does run and move. Just won't go in 4 wheel drive. Tom wasn't supposed to deliver the tractor until Sun. daytime but I got a call late Sat. that he was on his way and he had to come that night so his brother in law Johnny could come and help. I have found in my experience that scammers usually travel in 2's. Yep! They do!

I am guilty of trusting people a little much and I did that. Like I said, Tom is a professional scammer and slick as snot. Several people have come forward that Tom has scammed or tried to scam. There will be many more.

Bottom line, Bait and Switch and fraud on the internet is a crime. Tom is guilty of a crime and I am turning it over to (IC3) for prosecution.

Thanks for your interest but I will take care of this. Just ask Lying Tom why he advertised someone else's tractor for his own. He won't talk about this but he will talk about everything else in the world to distract you. If you quote him you will have to give me $50.

Have a great day Scorp!
I will see you in the Scammer Forums. I am letting the (IC3), FBI handle this. I am sure in your scammer hunt you are aware of them.
