advertised pto chipper on earborist.

only enquiry was ( or claims to be) from a company in dubai. after a few emails he has requested an invoice and account number for money transfer.he also wants to buy my tractor (without seeing photos) seems a bit too simple to me.

anyone else have similar? is it risky even opening these emails. thanks

Sounds dodgy, but on the other hand it would be very convenient. You could open a savings account in your own name, then issue an invoice with money payable to it, in advance of shipping. Being a savings account it couldn't go overdrawn so you'd soon find out for certain with little effort?

thanks alec. i have a second account with no od facility on it and rarely any money in it, was going to give that number.

i know theres a buoyant market for tractors in that part of the world but i would

not have thought woodchippers.

a friend of mine who deals in tractors thinks it may be genuine, im wary of building my hopes up though
