Beware ATW Escrow Solutions - Auto Department

Beware of this site - it is a fraud site!

They hijack vehicle adverts with a false email address then tell you that they are overseas and cannot call you and that you have to deal with an 'escrow agent'. They then request a cash deposit via Western Union using bogus names.
