1) Complaint Against : Keene machinery & Export (At Address: W, 1901 W 2nd St, Taylor, TX 76574, United States Phone:+1 214-733-9900/ 254-592-1071 Website:www.keenemachinery.com Managed By Karon Jones) Related To Their Scam For Issuing Forged Invoice And Receiving USD 8,000 AS Deposit, Unscrupulous Lies ,Cheating And Fraudulent Activities

2) Request For Recovery Of My Losses

Dear Sir/Madam

Your kind attention is drawn to my following submissions related to the above captioned complaint.

1) I am a small trader involved in the export of used heavy equipment for a couple of years and used to receive offers of the said equipment through emails from Keene Machinery and Export

2) With reference to their email dated Feb.16, 2016, I started negotiating an offer made by Karon Jones of Keene Machinery Re. A Wheel Loader Cat 966D YOM 1985( Hereinafter called The Machine). We finalized the deal through exchange of emails and eventually she sent me an invoice of the Machine on Feb. 18 ,attached herewith . As per details of the invoice, the ex works price of the machine is USD 42,000. I had to deposit USD ,8000 for holding the machine for 10 working days w.e.f. Friday, Feb. 19th .During that time , had to arrange its physical inspection and upon satisfactory inspection as specified in the Invoice , I had to pay the remaining balance USD 34,000 and pick up the machine form there given address at Stockton , California.

3) After having received the Invoice , I remitted USD 8,000 on Feb. 19th through wire transfer whose copy is attached herewith. After remittance of the money I asked Karon about the exact location of the Machine and the contact address of the person responsible for handing over the machine to us. She gave me the address of contact person and site as: 3965 Wilcox Rd, Stockton, CA 95215 Contact: Oscar A Ramirez (951)234-6986. After receiving the invoice and sending the money , I incidentally found the Machine listed on Machinerytader (A reputable Business web portal of the used heavy equipment)by another dealer:

Construction Station

Wayne, Michigan

Phone: +1 734-905-9000

or +1 313-523-8008

Fax: (734)340-3432

Contact: Moby

4) I protested for that listing made by a third party and got suspicious about the ownership of the machine. I asked Karon why it is like that, Did this machine belongs to her and if not why did she issue an unauthorized invoice. She told me that this machine neither belongs to the above mentioned construction station and nor to her but it belongs Mr. Oscar at Stockton CA and she had made deposit for that.

5) Thereafter I checked the address given by her thru Google Search and found that the said address belongs to Pacific Supply Company . When I called Oscar and inquired about the said address and deal between us, he told me that the equipment is not there but in a yard nearby and he is 6 hours drive away from that place .I started further doubting the deal and asked him to tell me the exact location so that I come over there and finalize the deal but he told me to come at the already given address and he would meet me there and take me to the site of equipment. I felt uncomfortable and decided to know more about that place before I go there. I found an acquaintance in that area and requested him to go to there and find out if there is a yard of machines around there . My Acquaintance went there and found no any yard and then I gave him the Ph. Number of Oscar and told him to get guidance from him for that yard . He tried but Oscar was not ready to give him exact address.

6) I became confused and started to consult internet for the profile and reputation of Karon Jones and to my surprizing shock I found the following reviews by three different persons made on : Best Business Bureau BBB: BBB Business Review Overview

Feeling like a fool

Terrible company. Awful people. Don't let Karon's smile fool you. She is a scam artist!

Terrible

It should be no stars. These people were a rip off from the get go. Do not let Karon's smile fool you or she will be laughing all the way to the bank.
