Is this site legit?

[covbaldy]

I saw an advet on gumtree for an Imac, so I emailed the guy who tell me the mac is in spain now:

http://www.gumtree.com/london/34/68284534.html

After a few email he sent me this link

https://www.escrow-europa.com/IndexEN.htm

Does this site look legit? Its a bit flakey links don't seem to work!

Cheers for helping!

This is not as easy as most cases.

escrow-europa.com is a legit company as far as I know.

HOWEVER:

The ad and the reply of the seller have many signs of a scam. The following things may happen if you decide to do the deal:

1. You may get an email allegedly coming from escrow-europa.com (but in reality of course coming from the seller himself) with payment instructions and so on.

or

2. You may get routed to a site that looks like escrow-europa.com but has a slight misspelling in its name (which of course means it's a completely different site).

There is of course also the small chance that this is a legit offer but I wouldn't count on it.

You may want to follow this a bit further to see where exactly the whole thing leads. If you do so please keep us updated and don't pay any money (to anybody!) before verifying the situation with us.
