Iron Gate Tractor Sales

[Margo]

Anybody see these tractors advertised on Facebook Marketplace. Seem pretty cheap to me. Was wondering if anybody has had any dealings with them.

Always remember if it sounds too good to be true it is

I asked AI if Iron Gate Tractor Sales is a scam.
I think I would go with its answer on this one.
AI answer:
Based on numerous reports and user experiences, the business name "Iron Gate Tractor Sales" (or similar names like "Iron Gear Equipments") is
very likely associated with a scam operation. Reports across forums, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and law enforcement sites indicate a pattern of sophisticated fraud using fake dealerships and websites to steal large sums of money from buyers.

Good job. I'm clueless, how do you ask AI?

how do you ask AI

I am using my iPhone, the Apple Safari browser, their default “search engine” must be Google because it shows at the top page when I open it. However, it often asks me if I want to sign in to Google but I opt out. When I search at the top of returned results it says “AI overview” that is where the information I copied into the thread was from. It seems to me that must be Google AI. Below that was even more subsections going more in depth about other individual items. In this case other names that have been reported as associated with scams with tractor or equipment in their names. It sure seems to drill down deeper and sort of provide more precise detailed return information than the same google search would have a year ago.
You can use ChaGPT to receive AI results, search that and it will provide a search box to type in your question or words you want to search/learn about.

Iron Gate use to be Iron Gear.
They have been known scammers for years. One time they were suppose to be in Kansas and another in Florida. The photos they use in their ads are all taken from different web sites.
They operate by getting people to send a good down payment. Once the money is in their hands they will shut down and move the entire operation to another server. This leaves you with no way to contact or trace them. If you try to visit their website after getting scammed. You only see something like this.

The add showing the tractor and price says "Interchange Tractor" at the top...that in itself should raise red flags. Considering the seller is using the name "Irongate Tractor sales"

I figured it was a scam. Just wanted to see if anybody had any dealings with them. Just like trackrat said. If sounds too good to be true probably is.
