Escrow Service

[Romulus]

Hi everyone.

Just wondering if anyone has used this service for online overseas transactions. It works as a 3rd party for person-person overseas transactions.

http://www.escrow-deals.com/

Anyone feedback? hear-say about this service?
Anyone knows how to check if it's legit?

thanks.

Here's what I found out:

There is an ESCROW service. BUT the website I listed there is a FRAUD. Go check it out and compare it with the original site. Saw these deals on YAHOO.SG classifieds

Be careful!

I was shattered...

Was trying to get an EOS1D for $3000.... sob...

Now... going to sell my Pro90 and EOS300 tomorrow already... still no replacement!

life is NOT beautiful to me...

No way the 1D can be so cheap. Luckily, u r smart enough to check first.

Wait for bonus, then u can buy D60.

A check on companies in the US (www.bbb.com) shows NO ESCROW-DEALS company registered in the US.

ESCROW-DEALS customer support is very prompt, almost too prompt. They replied almost immediately to my queries... BUT could not provide me with a) a registered business address b) phone number. VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Go compare WWW.ESCROW-DEALS.com with WWW.ESCROW.COM
See the similarities and differences...

Reminds me of the FEDex scam last time... heheh...

I've experienced this a couple of times with yahoo.. But only bout 10-20% are scams. Most of them are ok. I've 1 encounter with this lady... she's selling a canon 88. I'm buying for a friend.. then guess wat.. i checked everythin n all nothing wrong but when i got home, found some oil on the shutter. Sheesh..i called the lady but she din reply and never picked up any more calls from me. I should've kicked myself. Thank God it wasn't a v serious case..
