Verdict
This operation is a confirmed scam and buyers should not send money to NEW Pro Equipment in Lyndonville, VT. The finding rests on a buyer report that, according to the buyer, they wired $33,000 for a 2021 John Deere 6135E and received no equipment, together with registration records showing the domain was created six days ago, a privacy-protected WHOIS, and multiple seller-site omissions that match common equipment-sale scam patterns.

What to do if you have paid
- Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and ask whether a wire recall or reversal is possible; provide the bank with all transaction details and communications.
- Preserve all evidence: receipts, screenshots of the listing, emails, SMS and bank transaction records.
- File complaints with your local police and with national online-fraud reporting bodies (for US residents consider filing at ic3.gov) so there is an official record.
- Report the listing to the site host, the registrar, and Namecheap abuse contacts; ask your bank about chargeback options if a card was used.
- Notify consumer protection agencies and your state attorney general’s office.
How to verify this yourself
- Check WHOIS and domain age before payment; brand-new domains are a common sign of scam fronts.
- Ask for a verifiable business registration number and dealer license, and check the issuing authority in the listed state.
- Demand a live video inspection of the exact machine, including VIN, and verify the VIN against title records before payment.
- Insist on in-person inspection at a verifiable physical yard, and verify the yard address on Google Street View and local business listings.
- Avoid wire transfers; prefer payment methods with buyer protection and use verified escrow services for high-value equipment.
