Scammer Uses Alias "Amanda Jones" to buy Tractor
From reader:
I believe this is a scam I found on craigslist in albany, ny under a search for "tractor." Below is a reply from Amanda Jones. This tractor is probably worth between $12,000-$15,000 or even more with all the implements.

Hi, the 2007 John Deere 3203 4x4 is still for sale and my final price is
$2500.
Tractor comes equipped with a: #300 Front end loader, BB2060 Box Blade, RC
1060 Brush Chopper, RT 1160 Rotary Tiller, lawn/hay rake.
The tractor work without any problems and never has been damaged, tractor
will come with all papers and receipts that you need to register it on your
name.
It was my father's but unfortunately he can't use it anymore as he died 3
month ago.
As you probably noticed, the price is rather low $2,500. Due to the fact
that I'm very busy with my work and I don't stay too much at home, The
tractor is located in Malta, MT in my garage. My brother is a DAS employee
and can deliver the tractor anywhere in the US. The shipping is already paid
for.

Please let me know if you want to reserve the tractor for you.

"Scammer uses franciskeefesr@yahoo.com to rent a house.
Thanks for your interest regarding our house for rent may the lord god almighty bless you and your family yes the house is still available for rent,I must say that its my first time of renting my house.However, My name is Francis Keefe,I own the house located at {59 Rich St. Worcester, MA )due to my job as a missionary I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the house.
However, the initial plan was to sale out the apt. which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell I am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website, that is the old advert. Because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money, but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.
It has a dramatic entry foyer with ceramic floor. Extremely spacious rooms throughout with lots of big windows...nice and light! New neutral paint and some newer carpet. Very quiet, low traffic area. Appliances included are washer, dryer, oven, dishwasher, new fridge (7/07)...I believe its absolutely a home for you and your family. Utilities include Water, Trash, Sewer, Gas
The rent is $700 and $600 for Security Deposit
Pets: Dogs, Cats Allowed!!!

Craigs List- 2007 John Deer Tractor 3203 4x4 for sale...
Will not speak to you unless you pay the very low price of $2,500.
This is a very expensive tractor and the implements alone are well over the price being asked for the tractor.
What's that they alway's say...If something is too good to be true, it proabably is..
Alias use was Alicia Ponce.

Tractor is stored in Montana.
