This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the website graphics below clearly identify the fake website and these fraudsters alone.

Tractors Center Ltd scam. This is just another straight criminal fraud operation from the serial 'farm machinery' fraudsters where criminals have made up yet another fake company and have produced the above usual fake website with the apparent purpose of 'selling' non-existent machinery or 'helping' you to sell your machinery. At the end of the day the sole intention of these crooks is to part you from a large amount of money. The apparent modus operandi of this criminal is the same as the Kell Quip Ltd. fraudster. They have other aliases of UK LEADING AUTO MOTO GARAGE, farm-equipments.net Ltd (Farmers Garage), discountfarm.net Ltd., Central-Garages-Ltd, HPS Motorcycles Ltd., Machinery Garage Ltd, Tractors Agiaffairs Ltd, Second Hand Sale Ltd, Tractors Sale Ltd and PJ Equipments involved in similar criminal fraud activity and fake transport companies such as Auto Cargo Co (Global Lines Co) and TransitSystem-Express that these criminals often use as a fake 'trusted' third party. Needless to say, their domain tractors-stock.net was only recently registered for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year, their location and contact details are fake and they are not a genuine registered company in the UK. This fraud seems to be of Eastern-European origin and is covered in depth here.

Tractors Center Ltd : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Their domain tractors-stock.net was only registered with Enom Inc. (Surftown Domains) on 13-nov-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration and misrepresentation. See the table below for later domains.

ii) A Google search shows absolutely no internet presence at all for this "Tractors Center Ltd", apart from their own fake websites, of course. (They have a second identical fraud website under the completely unrelated domain conie-ag-center.com - clear evidence of fraud. (See below for further domains)

iii) A check of the UK Companies House registry shows that the Tractors Center Ltd company is not a registered UK company  - clear evidence of a fake company.

iv) "Tractors Center" uses the American spelling of 'center' when it should be the UK spelling of 'centre'.

v) The following fake staff bio's from their 'About Us' page are common to the other aliases as listed above.
Stephen Morrison - Stephen is at the origin of the concept of Tractors Center Ltd. He is the founder of Tractors Center Ltd.

Richard Coleman - Richard is the manager of . Is co-founder of Tractors Center Ltd.

Timothy Roberts - Timothy worked for the DRIRE Ile-de-France and later for the Bank of France. A former student of the Ecole Polytechnique and a member of the Corps des Mines, Timothy is co-founder of Tractors Center Ltd.

Jerry Moore - Jerry was the commercial director in France. Co-founder of the company, we are benefiting from its know-how and its negotiating skills.

Sandra Johnson - Before joining Tractors Center Ltd, Sandra took care of forecasts at the European level of Claas. During her studies at the School of Foreign Trade, she worked for John Deere export marketing. Sandra is responsable for the editorial content and partnerships.
vi) Fake Location Details (from their website)

N.B. - as these fakers are not a legal UK registered company, it follows that the following contact/location details are going to be fake:

Tractors Center Ltd
Holmbush Farm
Market Hall, Rotherham
Yorkshire, S65 1EL
United Kingdom
Phone / Fax: +44 207 504 8359

• - They are still using 'Holmbush Farm' as for their previous aliases - it just keeps moving about a bit....
• - The above address is clearly fake, a farm in a market hall? Must be a big hall... A Google search for "Holmbush Farm, Market Hall, Rotherham" unsurprisingly returns zero results - clear evidence of fraud.
• - The telephone number "+44 207 504 8359" is a London number, not a Rotherham number. A Google search for it returns no hits, (ignoring the criminals fraud site, of course).
• - They are not listed in the UK telephone directory.
All crystal clear evidence of fake details.
The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Tractors Center Ltd website has been set up by serial fraudsters for the purpose of criminal deception. If you are an abuse team that has received an abuse report regarding these fraudsters, please consider immediate termination of their services in view of the absolutely undeniable evidence of criminal fraud - please don't delay - these criminals will not respond to any communication from you, (all their whois data is false), but will simply take advantage of any attempt at communication as a delaying tactic to allow them time to carry on their criminal activity and prepare their next network.
