Verdict
This entry is a confirmed scam: buyers should not send money to Superior Equipment & Rental or to accounts nominated by the site. The finding is based on a buyer report that a wire payment of $26,000 produced no delivery and the operator’s domain was registered days before the reported transaction. Additional risk signals include the absence of dealer licensing details on the site.

Buyer report
A buyer reported wiring $26000 by bank wire on 2026-09-15 in connection with the advertised 2017 Kubota SVL95-2S listing at https://superiorequipandrent.com/listing/2017-kubota-svl95-2s/. According to the buyer, “A buyer wired $26000 and never received his delivery, his phone got blocked and never answered after he wired funds.” The buyer’s account is the basis for the reported loss in this record.
Registration record
The domain superiorequipandrent.com was registered on 2026-09-08 with registrar HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Nameservers are hera.ns.cloudflare.com and noah.ns.cloudflare.com. HTTPS is available and the homepage returns HTTP 200 with the title "Superior Equipment." The domain age (registered nine days before the buyer’s reported payment) is a strong indicator consistent with equipment-sale scam fronts.
Red flags observed
- Domain registered 2026-09-08 (brand-new registration)
- A buyer reported wiring $26,000 and receiving no delivery
- Buyer reported the operator blocked the buyer’s phone after payment
- No dealer licensing or DOT details published on the site
- Site publishes a street address and phone but those claims are unverified
What to do if you have paid
- Contact your bank immediately and request a wire recall or trace; provide the bank with all transaction records and the recipient account details you were given.
- Preserve all communications, screenshots of the listing, payment receipts and the buyer’s written account; these will be needed by your bank and any investigators.
- File complaints with your local police and state attorney general, and submit a complaint to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the FTC if you are in the United States.
How to verify this yourself
- Check the domain WHOIS/registration date and registrar; a very recent registration is a red flag for high-value equipment sales.
- Search for dealer licensing, DOT numbers, and independent business records for the trading name and street address; absence of these is suspicious.
- Call the published phone number from a different line and request verifiable documentation (past sales references, VIN/serial numbers, bill of sale). Insist on a secure payment method and be wary of requests for bank wires.
- Compare the listing photos and text with other marketplace listings to see if content has been copied from legitimate sellers.
