Hi everyone,
I need to warn the community about a potentially dangerous scam I almost fell for.
I was searching for used tractors and found a site called "TDL Equipments" with prices that are unrealistically low—a major red flag.
My investigation turned up the real, long-established UK company, TDL Equipment (no 's'). This new site seems to be a blatant copycat, possibly scraping the real company's listings to create a facade of legitimacy.
The clincher? A quick WHOIS lookup shows the "TDL Equipments" domain was registered only 3 weeks ago.
https://tdlequipments.com is the website.

My question to the community:
- Has anyone had any interaction with "TDL Equipments" (the one with the 's')?
- Can anyone from the industry confirm if this is a known scam?
- Let's pool our knowledge to prevent anyone from getting ripped off.
