Public case file archive

Before you wire money for an RV, tractor, or classic car, find out who you are really paying.

Every case file is public and indexable so the next buyer finds it in a search instead of on a wire receipt.

Prairie Tractor Depot

prairie-tractor-depot.example.com

Prairie Tractor Depot is currently online, selling compact utility tractors and implements at prices well below market and accepting only wire transfers, crypto, and gift-card-style payments. The domain is 3 months old, the phone number is unassigned, and the listed dealer license number belongs to an unrelated business. No completed loss has been confirmed yet, but the pattern matches known advance-fee vehicle fraud.

Pattern recognition

Four signs that show up in almost every case file

Wire, Zelle, or crypto only

Fraudulent sellers insist on payment rails with no chargeback. A legitimate dealer will accept a licensed escrow agent or a bank draft with a title check.

A domain younger than the business

A 30-year-old family dealership does not have a four-month-old domain registered behind a privacy shield. Check the registration date first.

No inspection, ever

Secure storage lots, vacationing yard managers, and units already loaded on a truck are all excuses to keep you from seeing the machine.

Fees that appear after payment

Transport insurance, escrow release, and customs handling fees requested after your money has cleared are a second extraction, not a real cost.
