DETROIT, Mich. - Impex Motor Group LLC, which lists its address as 1392 Mt Elliott St, Detroit, Mich., is a scam. A buyer who wired $14,900 for a 2016 Bobcat S650 says the skid steer was never delivered.
The timing matters because the machine is presented as a late model, relatively low-hour loader offered at a cash-friendly price, and the buyer paid the full asking amount before taking possession.
The listing
The advertised unit is a 2016 Bobcat S650 skid steer loader. The seller's description lists 1,359 hours on the meter, a Bobcat D24NAP diesel engine of 2.4L and four cylinders, two-speed travel transmission, an enclosed operators station with AC and heat, auxiliary hydraulics, an auxiliary electrical outlet, a hydraulic quick coupler, a 72-inch bucket with bolt-on cutting edge and teeth, and 12-16.5 tires. The listing ends with brief sale-condition tags including "Title: Clean" and "History: No Accidents." The asking price shown on the product page is $14,900.
That combination of model year, hour meter and attachments made the listing appealing: a relatively modern S650 with an enclosed cab and conveniences such as climate control, plus hydraulic quick coupler and auxiliary hydraulics for multiple attachments, all at a price that undercut retail for well-equipped machines.
How the sale unfolded
A buyer reported finding the impexmotorgroup.com product page while searching for a skid steer and comparing several listings. According to the buyer's account, the Bobcat matched the features the buyer wanted and was priced at $14,900, the same figure shown on the site.
The buyer contacted the seller through the contact details on the site and moved forward at the listed price. After the parties reached an agreement, the buyer sent $14,900 by bank wire to the account details provided and expected the loader to follow.
The buyer then waited for pickup or delivery. Days passed without the loader arriving, and the buyer concluded the machine would not be delivered. The buyer provided proof that $14,900 was sent by bank wire and that no equipment was received.
The sequence the buyer described is direct: the listing matched the purchase, the transfer of $14,900 was completed by wire, and no Bobcat S650 was delivered to the buyer.
What the website shows
Impex Motor Group LLC presents itself as a dealer-style operation, with a product page for the 2016 Bobcat S650 and a homepage offering cars, trucks, tractors and heavy equipment for sale. The site publishes a street address in Detroit, a phone number listed as +13132462641 and an email contact of sales@impexmotorgroup.com.
Domain registration records show the impexmotorgroup.com domain was created on Sept. 17, 2026 and was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The site uses nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com. The site does not publish dealer licensing or department of transportation credentials for Michigan.
How these schemes work
Federal consumer guidance and law enforcement advisories note several recurring signals in equipment sale frauds: a late-model, low-hour machine offered at a steep discount; full payment made by wire before any in-person inspection; and a domain or listing created only days or weeks before the advertised item appears. Those elements leave buyers unable to verify equipment in person and to pause payment when concerns emerge.
On the impexmotorgroup.com listing the elements line up with those warnings: a 2016 Bobcat S650 with modest hours and an array of attachments and comforts, an advertised price of $14,900, a reported bank wire payment, and a domain record showing registration on Sept. 17, 2026, shortly before the listing was posted. The site also shows no published licensing data for a Michigan dealer.
If you sent money
If you wired funds after dealing with this site, call your bank right away and request that the institution attempt to recall the transfer. Preserve every invoice, payment receipt and message connected to the purchase. File a complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and submit a report to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov, including the impexmotorgroup.com domain and a link to the specific product page.
Keep copies of the product page, screenshots of the domain registration and any correspondence that shows the payment amount and routing details. Those records will be needed for bank inquiries and for any federal complaints you file.
