Midway Equipment, operating at midwaysequipment.com, is a fraudulent online heavy equipment dealer claiming to operate a yard at 1208 E 1500 N, Terreton, ID 83450 in Jefferson County in eastern Idaho. Terreton is an unincorporated community with a tiny population — an unusual location for an online dealer claiming "15+ years in heavy equipment" and "Delivery to all 48 contiguous states and Canada." The site brand says "Midway Equipment" (singular) but the domain is midwaysequipment.com (plural) — a domain-vs-brand mismatch that itself is a red flag. Buyers who send payment receive nothing.
Midway Equipment uses an IDENTICAL website template to veltenmachinery.com (the Pierce City, MO scam reported separately). Both sites share: the same Facebook tracking pixel ID (843657458764780), the same /assets/img/dealer-logo.png path, the same "WORK-READY. PRICED TO MOVE." tagline, the same "X people viewed this week" fake live-counter, the same "won't last the week" urgency language, the same /vehicle/[year]-[make]-[model]-[stock-id] URL pattern, the same "WHY BUY FROM [DEALER]" boilerplate ("15+ years in heavy equipment," "Delivery to all 48 contiguous states and Canada," "Trade-ins accepted," "Financing available through commercial equipment lenders"), the same monthly payment estimator widget, and the same "NEW ARRIVAL" / "JUST LISTED" badge style. This confirms Midway Equipment and Velten Machinery are operated by the same fraudulent group — call this the "Velten/Midway template network," separate from the Bond CO 13069 / Hopkinsville KY network.
The website advertises Kubota mini excavators (KX057-4, KX080-4S2, KX040-4) and skid steers (SVL97-2) at suspiciously low prices — examples include a 2020 Kubota KX057-4 at $31,200, a 2022 Kubota KX080-4S2 at $37,900, a 2022 Kubota SVL97-2 at $33,600, and a 2020 Kubota KX040-4 at $29,000. The site uses urgency tactics like "won't last the week," fake live-view counters ("8 people viewed this week"), and "JUST LISTED" badges. A monthly-payment estimator widget creates a false impression of legitimate financing. After a buyer agrees to purchase, Midway Equipment demands payment by wire transfer, Zelle, ACH, or cryptocurrency. Once payment clears, the company stops responding entirely.
A buyer reported losing $31,000 — essentially the full listing price — after wiring funds for a 2020 Kubota KX057-4 mini excavator (Stock H1215, VIN KBCDZ360EL3B32484, 821 hours) listed at $31,200 on midwaysequipment.com. The mini excavator was never shipped from the claimed Terreton, ID location. Do NOT send money to midwaysequipment.com.

Yes. Midway Equipment, listed at 1208 E 1500 N, Terreton, ID 83450 and operating at midwaysequipment.com, has been reported as an online heavy equipment scam. The site uses the same template as veltenmachinery.com — confirming both are part of the Velten/Midway template network operated by the same fraudulent group.
No. midwaysequipment.com is not a legitimate Idaho equipment dealer. The site uses an identical template to another reported scam site (veltenmachinery.com), uses urgency-pressure tactics ("won't last the week," fake live-view counters, "JUST LISTED" badges), demands wire transfer or cryptocurrency payments, and goes silent once money is sent. Do not buy from midwaysequipment.com.
midwaysequipment.com and veltenmachinery.com share an identical website template — same Facebook pixel ID (843657458764780), same dealer-logo image path, same "WORK-READY. PRICED TO MOVE." tagline, same "X people viewed this week" fake counters, same "won't last the week" urgency copy, same URL structure, same boilerplate marketing language. This confirms both sites are operated by the same fraudulent group rotating brand names, addresses, and phone numbers under a shared template — call this the "Velten/Midway template network."
Midway Equipment claims a yard at 1208 E 1500 N, Terreton, ID 83450, in Jefferson County in eastern Idaho. Terreton is a tiny unincorporated community — an unusual location for a multi-brand online equipment dealer claiming nationwide and Canadian delivery. The address may be fake, vacant, or used to impersonate a legitimate local business.
(208) 924-4400 is the phone number listed by Midway Equipment on midwaysequipment.com for their claimed Terreton, ID location. The 208 area code covers all of Idaho. The number has been associated with the heavy equipment scam reported here.
sales@midwaysequipment.com is the contact email listed by Midway Equipment. After payment is sent, victims report that sales@midwaysequipment.com stops responding.
The Midway Equipment website displays the brand name "Midway Equipment" (singular) throughout the site, but the domain is midwaysequipment.com (plural "midways"). Real businesses match their domain to their brand exactly. This domain-vs-brand mismatch suggests the operators registered an available domain rather than the matching one — a sign the brand was assembled hastily for a fraudulent storefront.
Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or wire recall. File a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and an FBI internet-fraud complaint at ic3.gov. Also report Midway Equipment and the Terreton, ID address to the Idaho Attorney General's consumer-protection division in Boise.
