You might be surprised how many people will jump on what they think is the best deal ever conceived. I know of a few around me that have done that. Two brothers got took for roughly 30k. One deal was a tractor and the other was a huge barn they paid like 25k down on at the Louisville show. Apparently the guy at the Louisville show took a lot of people. After a few months of the guy snow balling, then finally not returning calls, they like everyone else he took did some investigating. They ended up being  put in tough with the FBI. That guy made off with over a million dollars from it all and disappeared. Never has been found. The FBI told the brothers their money is gone and will never be recovered. Live and learn. Unless you're stupid.
