Under ReviewOpened Jun 19, 2026Updated 24 days ago

Northline Forestry Attachments sells mulching heads, grapples, and forestry packages at prices below any distributor quote we could obtain, taking full payment up front against a twelve-week build slot. One buyer reports a $14,900 payment that produced neither an attachment nor a refund after nine months. The business does hold a real registration and answers its phone, so this record is published for transparency while verification continues rather than as a finding.

A machine priced this far under the market is not a bargain, an estate sale, or a liquidation. It is the mechanism that gets a deposit sent before anyone drives out to look.

Nine months on there is no attachment, no refund, and no record of the order in any production schedule he has been shown.

Can I get my money back after paying Northline Forestry Attachments?

It depends almost entirely on speed and route. A wire can sometimes be recalled if you telephone your bank the same day. Zelle, Cash App, and cryptocurrency have no reversal mechanism at all. A card or PayPal goods-and-services payment can be disputed. Call the bank first, file with IC3 and your state attorney general second, and refuse every recovery agent who contacts you afterwards — charging an upfront fee to recover money from a scam is itself a documented scam that targets people already on victim lists.

If you already sent money

The payment route first, the paperwork second

Call your bank now and ask for a wire recall. Do it by phone, not through the app. A wire can sometimes be pulled back the same day and almost never after that.
Send nothing more. Transport bonds, insurance deposits, inspection fees, and customs charges are the same scheme continuing, not a way to release the machine.
Save everything before it disappears. Screenshot the listing, the site, the invoice, and the full message history, and keep the wire receipt.
File with IC3 and your state attorney general, then refuse every recovery agent who contacts you afterwards. They found you because you were reported.
