What the buyer reports

According to the buyer's account filed with this publication, they completed a bank wire for the full $12,600 asking price and never received the 2017 BOBCAT T770. The buyer reported wiring the amount to the seller and has not taken possession of the machine.

Checking a Bobcat T770 before you pay

A tracked Bobcat T770 is a heavy piece of equipment and should be checked in person before any transfer of funds. For machines advertised with a serial number, match the number shown on the site to the machine's serial plate and to any paperwork you will sign. Photographs on a listing should include a clear view of the serial number plate; if they do not, insist on more images or a short video showing the plate, the engine compartment and the undercarriage.

Locate the PIN or serial plate on the machine itself and confirm it against the listing and the bill of sale. If the seller supplies a title, certificate of origin, or bill of sale, ensure the serial number on that paperwork is identical to the number on the plate. Contact a local Bobcat dealer and ask them to run the PIN through their system to check for factory records, warranty or service history tied to that number.

Compare the listed hours to visible wear. On a tracked loader, look for wear patterns on the track rails, sprockets, rollers and idlers. Corrosion and track wear often tell you whether 1,125 hours is plausible for a 2017 machine; ask for close-up photos of the undercarriage and the operator station. High-flow hydraulic hoses, the quick-attach coupler, and ride-control components should be photographed under load if possible.

Before payment, perform a UCC lien search in the seller's stated state and consider a nationwide search. A lender's lien can travel with the machine and complicate ownership. Run a stolen-equipment check by providing the serial number to local law enforcement or to an industry service that maintains theft records. If the seller insists on an unusual payment route, treat that as a reason to pause.

When you cannot inspect the machine in person, use an independent third-party inspector or arrange to see the unit where it is stored. Verify the seller's phone connects to a real business line and confirm the physical address the seller publishes actually hosts a dealer or yard.

How the payment was taken

The buyer reported using a bank wire to transfer $12,600. Wire transfers are final once completed and do not offer a chargeback option through the sending bank. That limits immediate recovery options compared with card payments or escrow services that offer purchaser protection.

Document every receipt, the beneficiary details used for the wire, and any correspondence with the seller. Those records are what a bank or investigators will need to attempt a recall or trace, though a recall is not guaranteed.

What we have and have not verified

We have confirmed the site's published details and the listing content as presented on abpremiumequipment.com. The domain registration record shows the domain was created on 2026-09-28 and the registrant is protected by a privacy service. The buyer's account of wiring $12,600 was filed with this publication and is published as submitted by that buyer.

Outstanding checks include independent confirmation that the machine exists at the published address, phone verification connecting the published number to a business operating at that location, a dealer check of the PIN AT6313920 against factory or service records, and a lien search in New Mexico for any UCC filings against the serial number. The status of any recovery effort with the buyer's bank has not been made available to this publication.

If you have already paid

If you wired money and did not receive the machine, contact the sending bank immediately and request they initiate a trace or recall of the wire. Provide the bank with all transfer receipts and beneficiary details. Report the transaction to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and to your state attorney general's consumer protection office, and retain copies of every message, invoice and receipt connected to the sale. Consider speaking with your bank about next steps and whether a criminal complaint should be filed locally.
