New Fraud at www.third-part-trading.com

[doctor_weir]

Hi:

I almost sure I have a new Escrow fraud site.

I have asked about a vehicle at http://www.mobile.de and I have received and Email starting with:

Sir, .....

And the seller wants to use an Escrow site at http://www.third-part-trading.com.

The website looks amateur and don't have information about the company, no Fax, no Phone.... the home page uses a pair of components from http://www.escrow.com, but the rest is very poor.

Its the first time I have suffered a fraud atempt, but I think its easy to see that something is wrong, when the price of the vehicle is less than the 50% of the *spam* price, the email format is strange (looks like an automatic email) and the Escrow company is really dark (poor information, amateur look..) you have no doubt, its a fraud.

Ok, the Creation date is less than a month ago, and for a company that is claiming to be "Established in 1998" that seems a bit too late to have decide to get the website up and running.

Also they claim in thier "About US" page that "Third-Part-Trading.com is a leading provider of e-business development and integration services for large to medium sized companies." . Amazing how nobodys heard of them over at GOOGLE.COM (do a search and currently NOTHING comes up about Escrow).


And I must agree with doctor_weir, the site just looks fraudulent. I have been checking out fraudulent sites for a couple of years now, and this one just stinks of

They have been added to the list of fraudulent sites and their images have been added to my gallery.
