🚜 FARMERS & TRADIES - We are aware of a scam website pretending to sell farm and construction machinery. The website will look the same but will be named "jbpty", " dayfarmpty" or "jbdatpty" - or some variation of these.

The dirt bags behind these sites are using the ABN and business details of a real farmer in South Australia. He has had to deal with people rocking up to the farm (which is also his home) looking for the machinery they've paid a lot of money for.

What YOU need to look out for if you're in the market for second-hand machinery:
✅ Be cautious of equipment offered at too-good-to-be-true prices. Some of the machines on the scam website are being advertised for around $10,000 less than they sold for.
✅ Don’t rely on ABN details alone - check the domain name registrant details and how long the website has been active by searching https://lookup.icann.org/en . Be suspicious of new websites where the registrant details are hidden.
✅ Google the business number yourself and call them direct. DO NOT use the number listed on the website as these scammers are happy to talk to you on the phone to make it seem more believable.
✅ Be wary of online stores that request non-secure payment methods, such as bank transfer, gift cards and electronic currencies, as these payments are often harder to reverse.
✅ Do a reverse image search on the website photos to see if they have been taken from other online sites.
✅ If you cannot view the goods in person, ask for specific photos or videos that could only be provided if the person had access to the machine. Or send a trusted friend or colleague to view the equipment.

If you're a member of your local community Facebook group - please share this post to help spread the word to the regions.

🐀A game of whack-a-mole: We are doing our best to get the websites removed, but as soon as one is taken down the scammers create a new one. If you come across these sites, we'd love you to help protect the community by reporting them to us - scamnet.wa.gov.au or 1300 30 40 54

Here's the other project I've been working on!

We would like to thank everyone for their support and patience while we take over the reigns at Homestead Hardware 🛠️ We’d like to thank Liv, Omo and the extended team for their support and answering all the random questions. If there’s anything you need in store just come and ask and we’ll see what we can figure out. Stop by and say hello! 👋

P.S We hope the new store greeter isn’t giving you too much cheek! 🐶

Harvest Mass Management Scheme (HMMS) nominations are open!

Developed in conjunction with Main Roads Western Australia, HMMS seeks to reduce the instances of overloaded grain trucks arriving at CBH receival sites during harvest.

During harvest, trucks loaded above their legal tolerance limit are given the option to forfeit the overloaded tonnes. Forfeited grain is pooled together, sold and the proceeds are donated on behalf of WA grain growers to charities working in regional WA.

Since the program began in 2012, more than $3 million has been donated to charities active in rural communities.

Registered growers and CBH employees are eligible to nominate up to three charities to be considered for funds.

Nominate today! https://cbhgroup.co/HMMS24-25
