Sydney Mowers is a scam! Beware!
I experienced exactly what others here have experienced - ordered a mower from the website, paid via bank deposit (to a Westpac account in Sydney), never received the item and then the website shut down. I can’t believe these people continue to scam people even after all these people reporting it. How are they getting away with it?

Lawnmowers.sydney
Lawnmowers.sydney is a scam. I recently bought a $453 lawn mower and did not receive my goods. Their website is now shut down. In the reviews they were previously Lawnmower.melbourne. Please do your research if the the price is too good to be true its probably a scam. They have been reported to the police.

Lawnmowers.Sydney
I am so glad I found these reviews. I will be able to cancel my credit card before they can process payment. Now trading as Lawnmowers.Sydney with the man in red pushing the mower with the black background. I was uneasy about the lack of phone numbers or street address and obviously rightly so., I could have lost $2400. I will buy my mower from a shop after this.

Mower.Sydney
Scammed $570 by these guys, credible website with allocated order numbers emailed. I'm waiting to hear if I can stop my payment to a MD Viergever. My thoughts now use language I cannot print, my sympathies to all who have lost money to these 'people' a lesson for us all about internet naiveté.

it's now lawnmower.melbourne
I've been conned too.
Can't believe this has been going on for over a year.
Currently pushed by Google ads for https://lawnmower.melbourne
I went on the site to pretend to purchase another mower and yes, the original bank account was for account owner R A B Wood BSB-182182 account-004044533 (Macquarie Bank Sydney)
Now it changed to
J Diab LM
BSB: 012-287 (ANZ-Easwood NSW)
Account: 4266-48613
I have reported it to my bank CBA (they can take up to 8 weeks) and reported it to the police via Australian Cyber Security Centre - ACSC (can take 12 weeks)
Why can't these people be stopped, caught and thrown in prison?

Spring is the perfect time to get in the garden and give it some TLC. Doing garden maintenance like pruning, removing old much, weeding, and getting your garden ready for new growth will help keep it lush and healthy throughout the warmer months.
Aussie mowers scam
Got scammed $250 from Aussie mowers under the name pitaroski. They provided with bsb and account number so technically the banks should be able to find out who they are

Looks like they are on the move again
We were scammed to the tune of $740 trying to purchase a lawnmower from Lawnmowermate.com.au. Never received the mower and website disappeared. Seems they change through a number of names. I noticed that AussieMowers.com.au were selling earlier this week but noticed today they are gone. Don’t buy from these sites if they come up. Have reported to the bank and scamwatch. Don’t expect to see the money

Aussie Mowers scam
Don’t use this site - although it’s shut down. The scammer has traded under different names, usually the same logo - black background, red writing and man profile pushing mower. Other names have included MyMower, Lawn Mower Mate and Mowers Direct Australia. He will start again under a new name. Particularly awful as we are all in lockdown. I’ve lost $400 but I’m far from alone. I don’t understand why consumer affairs can’t deal with this.

Scammed by 'AussieMowers'
I placed an order worth >$2000 on Friday. Just tried to ring to get an update on the order and realised there's no phone number and the website has 'closed for maintenance'.
Here goes the long process of dispute request.

I got scammed by aussiemowers.com.au
I think I just got scammed by aussiemowers.com.au. I placed an order for a Masport Mow N Stow Mower on 16 April 2020 and paid by online bank transfer because a further 5% discount was offered. Paid a total of $314.00. Received email advice that the order was shipped on 24 April 2020. So far, I have not received the mower. Tried to go to their website this morning (11/05/2020) but it has disappeared!

Scammed
I ordered my new mower and took the pay by bank transfer to get the 5% discount. I have lost $1500. The bank details have changed so the account has been drained so no chance of bank recovering my money. I have lodged a dispute but it won't end well

I actually called my bank the same night & put s stop trace on the transfer. It took 3 weeks but I got the money refunded. Never heard back from the police though.
Because I placed the order on a weekend I was able to ring first thing Monday and stop the transfer. Then I immediately rang Crimestoppers to advise that recipient was still 'waiting' and active for t...
Read moreransfer to go through, hoping they maybe able to use BSB and account number to trace and nail the guy... always a different name. Interestingly the banks don't seem to care or take any action to prevent or prosecute these guys, my bank said there was nothing they could do! This has been going on for some time it would appear with no appreciable action to stop it. The mower people are to blame, equally though authorities are also culpable. I feel for anyone caught by this scam, it is a sickening feeling to realise you have been robbed.Hello. I got scammed also to the tune of $247. I got suspicious within a couple of days after transferring money from my account (instead of using a credit card). I phoned my bank up who started an investigation. I have just received information from the bank saying that they were unable to retrieve the money even though it was sent to an Australian bank.
Account. The next step ey said is to seek legal advice. Has anybody here started that process yet? Thanks
I haven't sought legal advice, though I have lodged a complaint with 'scam watch' and 'NSW Fair Trading'. NSW Fair Trading said they would look in to it and try and resolve it. But, they don't have th...
Read moree power to force Mymower.com to return the money. I am still waiting to here the final outcome. I would love to hear how the legal advice goes!I did a little digging. I have found the registrant, of the website - Holder name: BO PETER JOHANSSON. ABN: 56 946 239 215. Address for service of documents: 46 Roe St Upper Coomera QLD 4209. Business...
Read more name: The Mower. As I mentioned previously, I would love to hear how you go if you seek legal advice. I also hope this information assists.Seems several people have been scammed by this guy. According to FTC they can't do anything as the business name associated with the ANZ bank account is not a registered business. The business name is...
Read more OM Depot Pty Ltd when it comes to banking, but no such business is registered in Australia. FTC also mentioned it was registered from the USA. ACORN is investigating this as a cyber crime and funny enough the site has been taken down just last week. Money transferred to the ANZ account for purchases should now be treated as fraudulently obtaining funds by deceit. The feds run ACORN so this and all facts supplied to them will allow then to investigate and act if they have the power to do so. It shouldn't be too hard if the guy is in Coomera as mentioned, we will all be able to see justice, but if it is someone in the USA then serious questions need to be raised in relation to operating a. Com.au domain without a legitimate ABN, that is the condition of owning a. Com.au prefix, ATO must also be satisfied. The guys details will be all over the paper trail that goes with the domain, and ANZ bank account so the end result will be interesting. Still waiting for the feds to get back to my lodged complaint as I am more than willing to be a witness in court if it ends up there. Importantly though, the website has been taken down, so I reckon the guy has been contacted and is now in panic mode, or the feds applied for it to be taken down. Patiently waiting for my bank to get back to me also, so time will tell in regards to this scumbag, jail is the only solution.Get an answer from our members
