What about iesecuredeals.com

[postman56]

Can anyone offer any insight on the legitimacy on these guys?

Dear XXXX

You have to go to your bank or log in to your online banking account and send the payment to our trust account listed below.

Payment Details:
Account Holder Name Escrow International Limited
IBAN GB63ABBY09012744781673
ACCOUNT NUMBER 44-78-16-73
SWIFT CODE (BIC) ABBYGB2LXXX
SORT CODE 09-01-27
BANK NAME Santander Bank

Once we'll receive the payment to our bank account, we'll contact the seller in order to ship the item to you. After the inspection period, you must let us know if you will decide to keep the item so we can forward the payment to the seller.

Thank you for choosing Escrow International Limited!

First of all, don't send anything.

This IS actually a bit weird. When I click directly on the link in your posting I get forwarded to http://primaglobalcargo.com.

When I copy the address and paste it into the address bar of the browser I get to the actual site http://www.iesecuredeals.com/.

And that one looks pretty familiar:

http://escrow-fraud.com/index.php?page= ... layout=171

So yes, it's fake. Please post all the relevant details like email addresses used by the scammers.

The seller shows his UK passport ,states his name as Alexander Hodge ,this is the email address of the seller:vor48ba@gmail.com
Something has smelled bad about this, so I appreciate the help.
Thanks for any help

The scammers use a number of fake passports and ID cards; I've seen several cases of the same ID card with different names on it. No doubt this is also one of those cases.

This clown has been trying to flog Neumann microphones on Gumtree,avoid anything that looks too good to be true, for it is, and it'll probably be this scum of the earth, waste of skin!!

Here is the email he uses for the iesecuredeals replies:
office@iesecuredeals.com
Can someone track this down to a provider?

Great site!

Great, I've wanted to get a U47 myself for a long time...

ebay, Gumtree, autoscout24... practically any online marketplace is infested with those scammers. And they are always refining their "trade" (ok, not always - some scammers still operate in the same manner as four years ago - which also isn't a good sign).

Here is the email he uses for the iesecuredeals replies:

iesecuredeals.com itself is hosted with nic.ru (a Russian provider). Interestingly http://www.irishcartrade.com/ (which was just posted here) uses a very similar design and is hosted with nic.ru, too. This of course does not automatically imply that the scammer comes from Russia as well.

You could post the complete email headers of one of the guy's emails here (with "XXXX" in place of your own email address); this could possibly lead to more information. Make sure those are "complete" or "long" headers.

Hello,
I am sorry, I couldn't reply sooner. The price is €1100. Postage with insurance is €30. I worked in Ireland for 2 years but recently I've lost my job (company dissolved) and I had to move back home in UK. Now, I'm located in Hounslow, Middlesex, UK. I have attached a few pictures to this email. If you are interested please get back to me.
Regards,
Alexander

hello

I've got the quote for you it's 45 euro with UPS ground. It's a little bit slow but it's more cheaper. The price with the postage and insurance included will be 1145 euro. We can use an escrow service. You can read their terms here: www.iesecuredeals.com/howitworks.php. I'll give you seven days to test the mixer and only if you decide to keep it, they will release the money to me so, I believe this is the safest way. All you have to do is to register at their website and then I need your user name so I can set up the transaction. Let me know your decision because there is another person who wants to buy my mixer and I need to know which way to go. One more thing I saw that they accept paypal and bank transfer as payment method which I believe is 100% secure. Let me know your decision as soon as possible.
Kind Regards,
Alexander
