What the buyer reports

A buyer reported that they used a listing on newproequipment.com advertising a 2021 John Deere 6135E and wired $33,000 to the seller. According to the buyer's account, the buyer never received the tractor. The supplied evidence does not include a date for the wire, copies of messages, or bank receipts in this file; the buyer's account is recorded as supplied to us and is the basis for the payment figure in this report.

The listing

The listing advertises a 2021 John Deere 6135E. The supplied evidence does not preserve the seller's posted asking price on the ad itself; the buyer's account reports that $33,000 was wired in connection with that listing. Separate market verification for this class of tractor is not included in the supplied evidence. A substantial gap between an advertised price and the normal market range is a practical risk indicator for buyers, because it increases the chance that a seller is not offering inventory they actually control.

How the payment was taken

According to the buyer's account in the evidence, payment was a wire transfer. Wire transfers are typically final and do not offer a chargeback route in the same way that card payments do. If the buyer did in fact transfer funds by wire, recovery options are limited to a bank recall request and any voluntary cooperation from the receiving bank; those steps are outside the scope of this report and require the buyer's bank to act quickly.

What we have and have not verified

Observed and verified from the supplied evidence:

  • Registration records show the domain newproequipment.com was created on 2026-09-22 via NAMECHEAP INC. The site is therefore brand new. This registration date is in the whois record provided with the evidence.
  • The site publishes a street address as 175 Sheldon Meadow Ln, Lyndonville, VT 05851, a phone number (802) 320-1973 and an email contact@newproequipment.com as its self-reported contact details.
  • The buyer's account in the supplied evidence reports wiring $33,000 and not receiving the 2021 John Deere 6135E.
  • The registrant is using privacy service according to the scan results in the supplied evidence, and the site does not display any dealer licensing or DOT details.

Outstanding checks we have not completed and which remain open: confirmation that the published Lyndonville address corresponds to a physical equipment yard or showroom by in-person visit or live video; verification of any dealer licence or DOT registration with the issuing state agency; independent confirmation from the listed phone or email that the seller operates an equipment yard at the published address; and a bank trace or receipt proving the wire payment and the receiving account details. Those checks are necessary before any definitive conclusion beyond the buyer's report can be reached.

This record is published as filed. A right of reply is open to the business named on the site and this entry will be updated as checks complete.

If you have paid this seller

If you wired money to this seller: contact your bank's fraud or wire department immediately and request a wire recall, and keep every message and receipt. File a complaint with IC3 at ic3.gov and with your state attorney general. Preserve all communications, receipts and screenshots and provide them to law enforcement and your bank when asked.

If you are about to pay

If you are considering a purchase from a recently created site: verify the yard in person or by sustained live video showing the machine and the serial plates, confirm the dealer licence with the state regulator, check the machine serial plate against the ad photos, and never wire a deposit to a seller you cannot independently confirm. Prefer payment methods that allow buyer protection where possible.
