Tanya Rowe posted for sale a 2012 John Deere Gator, 4-wheel Drive for $1020 and for $1040. She said it belonged to her husband who had passed away. She kept the Gator in the garage and it was in excellent condition. She said she travelled a lot with her job and didn’t have a need for it and that was why it was priced so low. My dad thought it was a very good deal and wanted to buy the atv/utv. Tanya told me to pay for the atv/utv using Ebay gift cards purchased from Walgreens. I bought the cards and submitted the numbers on the back. I received an email from Ebay confirming payment had been received. Ebay then said I needed to send $600 more to cover shipping of the atv/utv but this $600 would be refunded when the atv/utv was delivered. When I questioned Tanya about this extra $600, she said it was a new policy that she had just been made aware of. I told Tanya that I would not send any more money. I requested a refund of the $1000. Tanya has not refunded my money nor will she respond to any emails. I have not received anything from Tanya Rowe! She still has the postings up on Craigslist so buyer beware!
Tanya Rowe, if that’s even your real name, I will recover all the money you took from me! You are a thief and a liar! God don’t like ugly!!
