I have placed an advert for an item worth around $1,000 on ebay, and two days later, I had this email from a perspective customer:
Hello Dear Sir,
I have a shop in Austria - Graz and we need many products for the
Christmas time.
I am very interested in buying your item. Please let me know your final
price including UPS Express shipping. If you can supply me more units I
will be glad to purchase them and maybe you can offer me a little
discount.
We preffer UPS Express and FedEx Express shipping services, of course
on our charge.
Our payment method is via Europe Deals Escrow Comp.
(http://www.europe-deals.net).
My email address is mobile_ap@msn.com. Please use this email address
for further conversation.
Please let me know your answer if we can establish a deal with this
escrow.
I don't accept other method.
I hate paypal.
Looking forward to hear from you soon!
Best regards,
Pascual Alain.
I checked http://www.europe-deals.net against list of reputable escrow companies on ebay, but did not see it listed. I than tried to go to the named site, but it was down. Finally after searching in Google, I have come accross this site, and have read about the escrow fraud and europe-deals being one of them.
Warning to all that they must check who they are dealing with: do some background research first, and make sure that you use an escrow company that ebay recommends.
Take care...
