Description

Active equipment LLC posted an ad on Craigslist for some heavy equipment I was interested in. I reached out to make an offer. I received email confirmation but things didn’t seem right even though the website they had answered most questions I had. Upon further research I found that it was owned by another company, action services LLC. They had a different address in the same city. I searched the address to find 1,198 businesses were registered to that address. The first 10 of those I looked at were registered with the state on the same day or within 1 day of each other. I then did a nationwide Craigslist search for heavy equipment only to find the exact machine I was going to buy was listed in more than 10 major cities across the United States. If it’s too good to be true it usually is.
