Re: escrow?

There are more online escrow scams today than there are scammers...

I have no experience with Escrow.com... so I can't speak for it.

However... most scammers will offer to pay shipping charges and ask to use an escrow service... just a thought.

Re: escrow?

Escrow.com has been around for a while.

The For Sale section on FastCougar.com (old forums) used to mention Escrow.com for safe transactions.

Are you new at the internet? Go look at their BBB page....Company Report

Re: escrow?

Escrow.com is probably the ONLY online escrow site to trust.

However, before going through the transaction - make sure you have his telephone number and real address so that in the event you did get ****ed, you have a starting point to search for him (right Frank?)
