HELP - JUST GOT SCAMMED WWW.ESCROW-HOLDINGS.NET **BEWARE

[jdwalosangeles]

WE GOT ROBBED OF A ROLEX WATCH WITH DIAMOND BEZEL TO A SO-CALLED "PAUL HANKE". CANCELLED HIS EMAIL ONCE HE GOT THE WATCH AND YOU CANNOT EVEN REPORT TO EBAY BECAUSE HE IS NO LONGER A REGISTERED USER. DON'T HOPE AT ANY COMMUNICATION FROM THE GUY OR ESCROW-HOLDINGS.NET WEBSITE. YOU WILL NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AND THERE IS NO NUMBER TO CALL, ONLY A SUPPORT TICKET YOU SUBMIT TO A DUMMY EMAIL WHATSOEVER AND YOU WILL NEVER GET A RESPONSE. PAYPAL CHARGES A LOT BUT IT WILL KEEP YOU SAFE FROM THESE CROOKS. WHEN YOU RECEIVE A SUSPICIOUS EMAIL ABOUT A DIFFERENT PAYMENT METHOD, REPORT IMMEDIATELY.

MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL CLUELESS ABOUT THESE CROOKS, SO NEVER EVER SEND OUT MERCHANDISE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY IN YOUR HANDS.

....first time here...FYI ... a guy named jeff rabben is trying to buy a watch from me (which was listed , but did not sell on ebay) ...his ebay name is rabj.393 ...and is a new user with a (0) next to it....he contacted me after the auction and wants to buy it thru ebay's recomended escrow.com . ....he wants me to start the transaction with the escrow.com so that he can send them the money....I told him I'm waiting for a reply from ebay because I need to invoice him thru ebay....I did tell ebay my situation 2 days ago and they have not responded to me....???? can you believe that ? ...don't you think that a flag would go up somewhere after my email? ...

I just got an email from this jerk thank god I checked this holding company out before hand I am coping what the conversation was here so hopefully this will help someone else
HI ,
I'm very glad that the item is still available!
I decided to buy your item so please tell if it`s
necesarry to bid on it.
Like I told you in my first email I want you to ship it
via FedEx International Priority because it will be a gift and I
need it fast. This service will cost me $150.
 Because I want the deal to be safe for both of us
we will close this deal using http://www.escrow-holdings.net 
A very trustable and professional escrow service.
This service will protect both of us.Please go to
http://www.escrow-holdings.net  and open a new account with them.
Then INITIATE the transaction and please include the ebay
item# on the description.
I'm already a member and I'm waiting for you to start
the transaction. For inspection period I think 2 days
(from the day I receive the package) it`s enough.
When you start it please put shipping insurance on the step 2
because I want them to insure the package too, I`ll pay.
After you will start the transaction you will see that
I'm a serious person and I have closed 4 positive
transactions through them.


 Best Regards
 Jeff Rabben

They are still at it--beware jeffrabben@me.com and escrow holdings.Same scenario as others,expensive item on EBAy, buying as gift, need to ship to Jeff Rabben in Spain ASAP, 2 days to inspect, FEdEx insured. Fortunately I found this site --saved me lots of heartache!

He also goes by eBay user name: biopet09.

Hello,
I thank everyone for there postings as it saved me from possibly making a mistake. I too was contacted by this A hole and was pretty firm in only using escrow.com but started to wonder if maybe this company he wanted to use was real. So I looked it up and got this site. Thank goodness since it took away any doubt to its validity. Just for the information record he contacted me with the eBay user name rblackjackjeff (zero feed back of course), and his email was JeffRabben@me.com. Keep up the good work.

I just got an e-mail identical to the one below from Jeff Rabben, whose ID at e-bay is "asidue4rab" and zero feedback , of course. He didn´t even bother to write a new message; simply cut & paste. He wanted to buy my solid gold BULGARI by using the same scam of ESCROW-HOLDINGS.NET. Tks to you guys I didn't fall in this trap. Cintia

Hello everyone;

I will forward all the non-killed ebay ID's to ebay customer service tomorrow so that they can hopefully be killed very quickly. So far we have:

rabj.393
biopet09
rblackjackjeff
asidue4rab

I am very happy that the last few posters found this site (and this thread) in time and did not get scammed.

Unfortunately escrow-holdings.net is hosted in China; cultural and language barriers make it comparatively difficult to have the site killed (it was down for a while but re-appeared). But we're working on it.

I myself had the pleasure of a request from "Mr. Jeff Rabben". He attempted to purchase a ring I was selling on e-Bay.

For all of you out there, his user eBay ID he hit me up with was spinvertu (0) ...again with NO FEEDBACK!!
Add that to the list of undesirables!!
He sent me two e-mails!! So I reported him not once, but twice to eBay.

What losers out there!!

Here is my cut and pasted e-mail he sent thousands...I'm sure...
