Abuse complaint regarding:


Name: Escrow!
URL: http://www.dekra-escrow-transportation.com
IP: 216.122.72.9
Country: Unknown
Type: Courier - Used in a fake escrow service


THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

+ The courier is listed in the escrow-fraud.com fake escrow database:
http://www.escrow-fraud.com/fraud_data.php?id=1961


+ This particular site is using a known fraudulent layout. This particular layout has been used many times as can be seen in
http://escrow-fraud.com/images/sites/Layout76a .


+ The text of crucial portions of this site has been copied from other
sources, with minor edits:

http://www.dekra-escrow-transportation.com
is a copy of
http://www.escrow-europa.com

The legitimate company, which this site copies, has been informed of the deception. Failure to terminate this site may result in the legitimatecompany filing suit against you.


+ Site is misusing the names/trademarks of the legitimate DEKRA company/Germany. I am notifying this business of the impersonation.


+ No telephone number is listed on the site.


+ No mailing address or physical address is listed on the site.
No legitimate courier fails to have such basic information on their site. This is clearly an attempt to avoid giving information about their location. If the courier's location cannot be determined, it cannot be checked against the list of registered courier's for the relevant jurisdiction.


+ Site gathers personal information on insecure form. Legitimate businesses do not gather this type of information without security precautions.
