There are several things about this deal that seem strange.
1) The seller advertised the goods in Norway but when I suggested a meeting there I was told that the seller has moved back to Germany after 2 years in Denmark. Denmark, where did that come from, the ad I answered was in Norway...
2) The seller stated that his wife had insisted that the goods should be marketed in Denmark (Denmark again) and that this was why the ad was in a different country than the seller and the goods. The wife was the one translating the emails because the seller is a German native but speaks English as well. The strange thing is that a couple of answers where in Swedish, not in Dansish (I know, because Swedish is my own language). We now communicate in English.
3) The seller wants to use an escrow service. I would pay the money to
www.iloxx.de in advance and have a 30 day period to inspect the goods, upon my agreement, the seller would get his money. I received a PDF broshure "How does iloxx Europa works?". Note the grammatical error, it should be "work" not "works". At least this is what my ear tells me, correct?
4) The seller uses a hotmail email account. This doesn't have to mean anything but anyone can set up a fake hotmail address.
I have asked for more information about the escrow service and a link to the webpage but I have not received an answer as of yet. At this point I do not want to hang out the seller with name as I cannot be 100% sure that he is a scammer yet.
