Hi I am in the process of buying a motorhome from someone in France, they are insisting i use the escrow payment as they have had false intrest before and had a wasted journey to the UK.
All this sounds logical but i have never done anything like this before and it kind of shouts SCAM at me.
I told the woman on email today that i haven't made the payment yet as i want to do some checks and she said i offended her!!
She has booked the ferry tickets etc before i have paid and i feel that she is pushing me
How do i know if this is Genuine?
Kate
This is the E-mail i got from Escrow within seconds of me mailing her my details:
