Golden Heavy Equipment, operating at goldenheavyequipment.com, is a fraudulent online heavy equipment dealer that lists its address as Banner Building, 950 W Bannock St, Boise, ID 83702 in Ada County. The site lists phone (208) 274-3692 and email support@goldenheavyequipment.com, along with a 'Bond Number: CO 13069' and 'Company Reg#: 20211929794' to look credible. Buyers who send payment to Golden Heavy Equipment receive nothing — no Kubota, no Bobcat, no excavator, no refund.
The goldenheavyequipment.com website lists compact excavators, skid steers, and tractors — a 2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 at $14,200, a 2022 Bobcat E50 R2 at $13,600, a 2022 Kubota Grand L4060 at $14,200, a 2022 John Deere 310SL at $14,200, and a 2022 Caterpillar 259D3 at $11,600 — all dramatically below real market value for the year, hours, and condition described. Once a buyer commits to a purchase, Golden Heavy Equipment instructs them to wire money or send funds via Zelle, ACH, or cryptocurrency to an account they email after the call. After the wire clears, calls to (208) 274-3692 and emails to support@goldenheavyequipment.com go unanswered, no equipment ever arrives, and the 'tracking' page on goldenheavyequipment.com returns nothing real.
A buyer reported losing $14,200 after wiring funds to Golden Heavy Equipment for the 2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 compact excavator listed on goldenheavyequipment.com. The excavator was never shipped from the claimed Banner Building, 950 W Bannock St, Boise, ID 83702 address. Phone calls to (208) 274-3692 and emails to support@goldenheavyequipment.com went unanswered after the wire transfer cleared. Do NOT send money to goldenheavyequipment.com.
Domain registered only 43 days ago
goldenheavyequipment.com was registered on 2026-04-14 through Hostinger operations, UAB — about 43 days before this report. The site simultaneously claims a 'Formation Date: 10/07/2015,' which would require a 10-year-old equipment dealer to be running on a brand-new domain.
2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 listed at $14,200
A 2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 compact excavator with 252 hours has a real-world market value typically in the $70,000–$95,000 range. Golden Heavy Equipment listing it at $14,200 on goldenheavyequipment.com is an unrealistic price designed to lure buyers.
Entire inventory priced at the same suspicious tier
On goldenheavyequipment.com a 2022 Bobcat E50 R2 ($13,600), 2022 Kubota Grand L4060 ($14,200), 2022 John Deere 310SL backhoe ($14,200), and 2022 Caterpillar 259D3 skid steer ($11,600) are all priced 70–85% below market. Real dealers do not price every machine in the same narrow bait range.
Address is a downtown Boise office building, not an equipment yard
'Banner Building, 950 W Bannock St, Boise, ID 83702' is a downtown Boise office address — not a place where excavators, skid steers, or backhoes can physically be parked, inspected, or loaded onto trailers.
Hostinger-registered WordPress site posing as a heavy equipment dealer
goldenheavyequipment.com is a WordPress/Elementor template hosted via Hostinger operations, UAB. Established Idaho heavy equipment dealers do not register through a budget overseas registrar 43 days before listing six-figure machines.
Pushes wire transfer, Zelle, ACH, and crypto with no escrow
Golden Heavy Equipment's 'How to buy' flow funnels buyers toward bank wire, Zelle, ACH, and cryptocurrency — irreversible payment rails. There is no card processor, no escrow, no in-person pickup option at 950 W Bannock St.
Fake-looking 'Bond Number' and 'Company Reg#' on the site
The footer prints 'Bond Number: CO 13069' and 'Company Reg#: 20211929794' as trust signals, but these numbers cannot be verified against any Idaho Secretary of State or surety bond record for a Boise heavy equipment dealer.
'$0.80 per mile' nationwide shipping pitch
The KX080-4S2 listing promises nationwide shipping at $0.80/mile plus a '10-day inspection policy' and '6-month warranty' — claims designed to make wiring $14,200 to a 43-day-old website feel safe. Once the wire clears, no excavator is ever dispatched.
“I found a 2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 listed on goldenheavyequipment.com for $14,200 with only 252 hours, which seemed like a great deal. I called (208) 274-3692 and emailed support@goldenheavyequipment.com, and the seller answered quickly, confirmed the machine was at their Boise yard, and promised a 10-day inspection policy and 6-month warranty. I wired $14,200 to the bank account they sent me. After the wire cleared, nobody answered (208) 274-3692 and my emails to support@goldenheavyequipment.com bounced back unread, and no excavator was ever shipped.”

Golden Heavy Equipment lists Banner Building, 950 W Bannock St, Boise, ID 83702, in Ada County. No actual heavy equipment yard operates from that downtown Boise office address.
(208) 274-3692 is the phone number listed by Golden Heavy Equipment on goldenheavyequipment.com. The 208 area code covers Idaho. The number is associated with the heavy equipment scam reported here and stops being answered once a wire transfer is sent.

No. The 2023 Kubota KX080-4S2 Super Series 2 excavator listed on goldenheavyequipment.com at $14,200 with 252 hours is part of the scam. A buyer wired $14,200 toward this listing and never received the machine. The price is far below market value for a 2023 KX080 with that low of hours.
These numbers and the claimed 'Formation Date: 10/07/2015' appear on goldenheavyequipment.com to look legitimate, but the goldenheavyequipment.com domain itself was only registered on 2026-04-14. A 10-year-old company would not have a brand new domain registered through Hostinger 43 days ago.
