Can someone please check out a engcon in Norwitch before I wire money.

[Keif]

I was laying in bed last night and got worried I might be wiring money to buy something that might not actually exist. Lol. Would someone be willing to put eyes on it for me? I am will to pay for your time.

The business address is listed as
1 Fisher Place , Bingham, Nottingham, NG13 8BQ

Also if anyone has done business with John Bird @ Construction Equipment UK. Ceuk.net I'd like to hear from you. I think he worked at a sany dealer before that.

Thanks,
Keith

Sold my spider crane with a trailer the other day. Biggest amount of money I’ve ever moved in one go. £27K with the vat. He paid online and despite it being visible in my account straight away I was still very anxious for a few hours and kept checking my account to make sure it was still there . It’s very easy to be blasé about £££ but if you make a silly mistake … once it’s gone it’s gone!

John sells lots of equipment and machines. You ring him, tell him what you want returning on it and he finds a buyer and you don't waste hours of your life dealing with enquires or idiots.

John lives in Nottingham.

He sold my mustang skidsteer for me last year. And I've bought of him before.

I'd of not put the link up unless I'd not know John for the last 8 or so years.

He's spoken to John on John's phone I believe.

 

[Keif]

P

He's spoken to John on John's phone I believe.

Yeah a few times. He said both cheers and mate so to my American knowledge that confirms he is indeed in England!

so John lives in Nottingham and the Engcon is sat at the other location .. John basically brokers sales ..... an eight year recommendation sounds good to me .... 's like me and Barnsey ... known him 30+ years and straight as a die

 

[Grahams]

@Grahams are you nearby?

Sorry, it is at least a 10 hour round trip from where I'm based and I won't be going anywhere nesr until probably October.

 

[Monkeybusiness]

The two addresses might be because his business is registered to his accountant’s address in Nottingham (totally legit).

Spoke to a plant guy a few months ago who said a main dealer who starts with a K got hit for 75k in a scam. They compromise the email of the dealers and intercept emails, changing the bank account details on the fly and dealers have no idea its happening. If you're doing big sums of money you should always do an out of band check by phoning to confirm the account details as well, its rampant right now.

To be fair banks do account name checks, so ltd company account should be easy to verify.....
Although doesn't mean some scamming twat hasn't created an account.
Speaking of scamming twats Mrs Instagram accounts for hacked and all passwords, account numbers and emails changed. Instagram have been more than useless in getting it sorted. No contact numbers just a runaround on their website trying to sort bits where it's is ever helpful in just texting or emailing the scamming twats who changed the details, you can do one page where you can send a pin number to an old number or email where you eventually end up at an option to do pics of yourself which gets an automated email reply of failed, or the completely useless option of again texting the scamming twats

ask for some dated photos ,or with todays newspaper etc ,

 

[hiluxman]

I've been in contact with John today at the request of keif. He's talking to John, not a scammer. The encon does exist and John is selling it on behalf of his customer.
There was 2 units available one has already sold I believe and keif has the other.
