Description
A Kubota Excavator was listed on Facebook marketplace for sale by VS group machinery in Columbia Mo. I called the phone number listed and ask them to call me. I received a phone call from Jessica after several calls back and forth they sent me a contract to sign. I wired the money and they scheduled a delivery date. The day before delivery I noticed the excavator was on marketplace again for sale. I called and was told there were some more papers if I still wanted and we could start the process again. I told her to send my money back. She said they would refund it in 48-72 hours . I have not received my money or the excavator.
