Doesn't seem dodgey at all! And you have the safety of trading through an unnamed escrow service!

How do they take your money if it goes in Escrow though? That's the bit I don't understand

Uh-hu. Just send your cheque to Global Fidelity and Trust Guarantee Escrow Services , Inc. You know who they are , right? Your money will be TOTALLY safe with them. Of course it will. Escrow is only as meaningful as your faith in whoever runs the escrow service.

Gotcha.

In my innocence I assumed the escrow service is provided for/by Trademe.

Typically the seller is the escrow service. Money goes straight to them, goods don't go to the buyer

**jeremysprite** · 19th December 2006, 11:41

yay I'm winning!

**placidfemme** · 19th December 2006, 11:49

Looking at the guys feedback... he's pulled out of a few sales and not made payment on a few others... seems like a bad rep IMO

**marty** · 19th December 2006, 11:56

the account owner has nothing to do with this. it's a phished account.

**hellnback** · 19th December 2006, 11:58

Noticed a few of these appearing on Trademe recently - all with different sellers - maybe someone is hacking in trying to empty these peoples accounts with huge success fees? Then again maybe not...
