Is escrow-ltd.com a fraud?

[knboxie]

Has anyone else worked with Escrow LTD Inc. at SUITE B, 29 HARLEY STREET
LONDON, W1G 9QR
United Kingdom ??

Also, has anyone ever been able to get their funds or item returned?

Err.... NO that is NOT a legit site. In fact that is the very first site (layout) I encountered that got me started on this Escrow-Fraud (awareness) Site. It's the original layout of WS-TRADE.COM. I haven't seen that layout in a while.

Also to provide more proof, you can check the WHOIS info. I have developed a very BASIC whois page. You can check the addresses there starting with http://escrow-fraud.pgardner.net/whois. ... ow-ltd.com

Take note of the CREATION/REGISTRATION DATE. In this case it is only a couple of months old. Additionally the information is very vague. Another sign of fraud.

Anyway.. not wasting any more time on it.... Just avoid it.

Did you send an item?
If you did recall the package.
The site is being hosted in China.
It was reported to the host as fraud.
The host refuses to respond.
The site is being run by Romanian scammers.

FRAUD. Just got scammed. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. I mailed my very expensive item to this clown and figured out later that I was scammed. Today I rec'd an email from them that they would like to bank wire my money to me-- I just need to reply to the email w/ my bank name, account name, account #, and routing #. I'm really glad that I caught on before I sent out my info to be robbed blind of every dollar I have.

I have asked people in several posts to type the e-mail addresses that the scammers use on thses fake escrow sites.
Please post the e-mail addresses of the scammers who sent you to Escrow-ltd.

Can we use http://www.escrow-ltd.com ? I already have feedback on that company and would like to use it again....

Now I have half a mind (obviously) to send her some horse manure! This person has been using this site with NO CRIMINAL PENALTIES at all! UNBELIEVABLE!

I Had a very high priced peice of jewelry taken from me through Escrow-LTD.com. I was emailed by TIM SANDERS who lives on Calle Colina Blanca 1, Edif, Averroes 2-11F, Fuengirola, 29640. Spain. His email adress is Basketes44@cs.com. I was approached by "Tim" on ebay about this ring I was selling and wanted to us an escrow service to protect us both. He said that I could go to the Escrow-LTD.com site and see that he had eight previous transactions. He sent me a link to http://www.Escrow-LTD.com/process.php that explains the process and why it is such a great idea(ha). I also called a phone number listed on the website that was a UK Government Licensing company. It verified that Escrow-LTD.com was a licensed company and had completed over 22,000 transactions since January 2005.That email also contained all I needed to start the transaction. He told me he would pay for escrow fees and shipping. I received an email when Escrow-LTD received the money from Tim and I mailed my ring never to see it again or get paid for it. They did let me know when Tim had received the ring and asked how I wanted to be paid. Being that things had gone well so far I agreed to do a Bank wire transfer and gave them my account information. That was September 22 and I have'nt heard from Escrow-LTD or Tim Sanders!! Whats intresting is that tnothing has happened to my bank account, but after finding all this out I will be closeing that down right away. I know its probably hopeless now, but does any one know if there is anything I can do now? Where do I go from here? I'm not sure who to report them to or where to get the right information. Any help or information would be great!!! STAY AWAY FROM ESCROW-LTD.COM AND BASKETES44@CS.COM (TIM SANDERS)!! PROTECT YOURSELF!!

you should file reports with your local police and also here

file a complaint there, it will end up in romania where your thief comes from.

Sorry it took so long to post a reply. I used Fed Ex to ship the ring three day express to Spain. The tracking number is 8497 7092 3210. I shipped it out on September 19, 2005. I received an email confirming they recieved the ring on September 22, 2005. They released the funds on September 23, 2005 and it would take 5-7 business days to reach me, which of course I never received. Hope this information helps get these guys busted. Thanks for the help. If you have any more suggestions PLEASE let me know. Thanks!!
