DE PERE, Wis. - IronRoad Machinery Enterprises, which lists its address as 759 Millennium Ct, De Pere, WI 54115, is a scam. A buyer reports wiring $43,500 to buy a 2023 Bobcat T770 Track Skid Steer and receiving no machine.

The listing mattered to buyers because it offered a recent model with very low hours for a full payment amount, and the buyer's account says the entire sum was sent by bank wire before any machine appeared.

The listing

The machine as advertised was a 2023 Bobcat T770 Track Skid Steer, shown with 65 engine hours and listed as used at an asking price of $43,500. The published description on the listing page gave the model year, the hours and the condition and set the price at $43,500.

What made the offering attractive was the combination of a 2023 model year and only 65 hours, a profile that buyers often seek when looking for a late model machine with little wear at a single price.

How the sale unfolded

According to the buyer's account, they found the listing while searching for a track skid steer and compared it to other machines in the same class. According to the buyer's account, it stood out because of the low hours and the $43,500 price tag for a 2023 T770.

According to the buyer's account, they used the contact information published on the site to arrange the purchase at the listed price. According to the buyer's account, the buyer agreed to pay and then sent $43,500 by bank wire for the machine described on the listing page.

According to the buyer's account, after the wire was sent they waited for delivery or for arrangements to transfer the machine into their possession. According to the buyer's account, no machine arrived and no transfer was completed.

According to the buyer's account, repeated attempts to resolve the situation failed to produce the skid steer. According to the buyer's account, the outcome was that $43,500 left their bank account by wire and no equipment was delivered to them.

What the website shows

The website publishes the trading name IronRoad Machinery Enterprises and gives a contact street address of 759 Millennium Ct, De Pere, WI 54115. The site lists a phone number, 9202453529, and an email address, sales@ironroadmachinery.com, on its contact pages and on the listing.

Public registration lists Sept. 28, 2026 as the domain registration date with registrar WebNIC, and the registrant is hidden behind a privacy service. The site does not publish verifiable dealer licensing or Department of Transportation credentials, and there is no published yard or lot address beyond the street line given on the contact page.

How these schemes work

Federal consumer guidance warns that scam listings often feature late model equipment with unusually low hours and prices that prompt buyers to act quickly. Such listings are sometimes hosted on recently created domains, and full payment by wire before inspection or pickup leaves buyers exposed if the machine cannot be verified in person.

Those general risks match details of this advertised skid steer: a 2023 Bobcat T770 with 65 hours at a $43,500 asking price and a domain registration dated Sept. 28, 2026. The listing also gives only the single contact address and does not list dealer licensing information that a buyer could independently confirm.

If you sent money

Contact your bank immediately to ask whether a wire recall or reversal is possible and follow the bank's instructions. Keep every receipt, invoice, email and text message related to the transaction.

Submit a report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov, including the listing URL and the domain name. Include copies of payment records and any messages connected to the purchase when you file your complaints.
