CONLEY, Ga. - Case Construction Sales Conley, which lists its address as 3185 Moreland Ave, Conley, Ga. 30288, is a scam. According to the buyer's account, $14,000 was transferred by bank wire for a 2019 Bobcat T770 and the machine was not delivered.
The listing promoted a late model compact track loader with relatively low hours, factory comfort options and a set of working attachments for a single, up-front payment, a combination that represents a large immediate expense for most farm and construction buyers.
The listing
The listing offered a 2019 Bobcat T770 with 856 hours. The seller described a 3.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine with 92 horsepower, a 2-speed hydrostatic transmission and rubber tracks. The ad said the machine included a Bobcat general-purpose bucket, Power Quick Attach, high-flow auxiliary hydraulics, a vertical-lift boom with self-leveling and 18-inch rubber tracks with Ride Control. The cabin was advertised as an enclosed ROPS cab with heat, air conditioning, radio, air-ride cloth seat and rearview camera. The asking price was $14,000 and the posting included the brief sales claim "one-owner".
What made the advertisement attractive was the combination of a recent model year, modest recorded hours and a long list of attachments and operator comforts at a single fixed price. For buyers seeking a ready-to-work track loader, those elements can move a decision quickly.
How the sale unfolded
According to the buyer's account, the shop found the listing while searching for a T770 to replace an older machine. The buyer compared the ad to other listings for similar loaders and found the spec sheet and accessories matched what was needed on several upcoming jobs.
The buyer said they reached out through the site contact information and arranged to buy the T770 at the advertised $14,000. The buyer agreed to send the full amount by bank wire and completed the transfer to the account information supplied through the site.
After the wire was sent, the buyer expected arrangements for ownership transfer or pickup and planned to move the machine to a job site. The buyer waited for the steps that normally follow a remote purchase of heavy equipment, including confirmation of transport or a handoff schedule.
When those steps did not materialize, the buyer contacted the site and the contact channels listed on the page. According to the buyer's account, no machine was delivered and the sale did not close in the way the buyer had anticipated. The buyer reports a $14,000 wire and no loader in return.
What the website shows
The site presents itself as a used equipment dealer under the trading name Case Construction Sales Conley and lists phone +1 404 905 7421 along with the address on Moreland Avenue in Conley, Ga. The inventory page reproduces full machine specifications, the serial number shown in the ad and a brief seller narrative about service history.
Domain registration records show caseconstructionsaleconley.com was created on Sept. 26, 2026 and is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The registrant is hidden in the record and the site publishes no dealer license number or Department of Transportation credentials.
How these schemes work
Law enforcement and consumer agencies warn that fraudulent sales pages can mimic legitimate dealer inventories by listing detailed specifications, serial numbers and attractive equipment packages. Tactics that raise concern include recent domain creation, full-price listings for machines with accessories and language that implies readiness for work, combined with payment by bank transfer before any independent inspection.
In this instance the domain record is only days old and the listing advertised a well equipped T770 with 856 hours for a single up-front payment. According to the buyer's account the transfer left them without a machine, matching several common warning signs agencies describe.
If you sent money
If you sent funds in a similar purchase, notify your bank without delay and request that the institution attempt a recall of the wire transfer. Preserve every invoice, message, receipt and any screenshots of the listing and communications with the seller.
File complaints with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and include the domain name and the listing link in your submissions.
