I saw a classified ad regarding a John Deere tractor for sale and when I inquired about it, the person that responded told me he listed it for his sister-in-law and to contact her for more information, which I did. Her reply stated that the tractor was her husband's and he died of a heart attack a couple months ago. She wanted to sell it right away because it brought up too many sad memories. She also said she had gotten a new job and moved back to Great Falls. The ad I saw said tractor was in Lees Summit, MO which isn't too far from me. The price was $1600 and it was a new looking tractor with finish mower and loader. I figured it might be a scam or something because that is probably a $20K+ set up. I 'Googled' her name with Great Falls and found some articles about a Tamara Watson was wanted for Fraud and some other things. I also found a Bail Bondsman's Facebook page and they were looking for a person with that name as well. There were other posts on that FB page with people telling about the lady selling a tractor, husband died, moved to Montana, etc. The bondsman suggested they contact the Great Falls PD. That is why I am contacting you now, to see if the emails I received from this person would help you guys, or if you needed/wanted them at all. Of course I have no way of determining it the person I contacted is the same one with a record but since the price is so ridiculous I feel that it is. I will not proceed with any interest in purchasing this tractor because of that. Please let me know if there is anything else that you would like me to do as it pertains to this person.

Thanks.
