We are a Caterpillar dealer in Florida - got a call from 510-545-7619 yesterday.  Caller identified himself as Richard DeAndero, requesting price and availability on CAT parts.  I responded to him via email with pricing information, but as always, will proceed with caution.  Most of these are scam requests, but being in business you can't just assume all are.  Hope all turned out well with you.....

We are a JD Dealer in TX. and just had a phone order for some parts from a Robert Kopp using a 510-545-7619 phone number. We have been warned by our bank that it may be a fraudulant use of a credit card. Can you tell me anything about the past situation?

I agree this seems suspicious and is being reported to John Deere corporate to follow up on.
