Having found this forum I now understand what is going on here and believe to have stumbled upon a new fraudster in the making. And no, I won't participate in the scam... though I'd be interested to know whether the "agents" are fooled too. I can imagine that, after having conducted one or two transactions through the agent, the escrow company closes shop and the agent is not paid either. I think I should write about this in my blog.
