    Hi everyone! I just wanted to make you aware of one of the many online scam ecrow companies. They are called Escrowse.com and they've been taking people for a thousand bucks or more. I almost fell for their scam... nay.. I did! Luckily I was able to reverse my payment I made to them before they picked it up. What they do is have someone posing as a regular joe advertise a product online, (I found her on Amazon.com.. the name she gave me was Alessandra Belucci) usually a camera, computer or some other electrical ot technological device at extremely smokin' deals. She claims that it was a gift and she doesn't need it. She tells you you need to make a payment via Western Union to the company who is the middle man of your transaction, Escrowse.com, and that you will be making the payment to them 'for the safety of both of you' and that this escrow company will hold the funds until you received your product in the mail and agreed to keep it and not return it. She's even kind enough to direct you to the review section of this site so you can see her history with these people. So you think your being careful by checking this Alessandra Belucci chick's transaction record with this company only to find she has an impeccable history of positive transactions under her belt with them. 18 to be exact. So I proceed to go and make a payment through W.U. When I returned to give them my mtcn code they needed to pick up the money I couldn't find the site. Instead I came up with 11 pages worth of complaints on Ebay about this fraudulant site and how they are stealing people's money. I freaked! Luckily I was able to freeze the payment and reverse it so they didn't get it but I'm still out $92 bucks that was a non refundable fee with W.U. Buyers beware! There are so many companies like this out there. I consider myself a pretty good judge of online vibe & character.. but these guys almost had me.... almost. I got lucky and caught it in time.. I swear someone was watching out for me.. but so many don't. It pisses me off that there are assholeshitheads in the world that do this shit to people! I hope they all rot in the eternal pits of karma hell! Anyway just thought I'd share that with ya!

    I hear what your saying I bought a laptop off of E-bay and found out it was stolen. It had a screen saver on it and passowrd I couldn't get passed to called the comapny name on the saver and was told it was stolen goods and the cops would be around to collect it and take a statement. It was part of a huge hit valued at over £30,000 ladeda and all that shit. Wish I have just reformated the drive now and kept my mouth shut. Doesn't pay to be an honest joe anymore they just shit on you. The cops came and took it away and I never heard another word even though they promised to let me know what was happening. I couldn'r get my money back either. This women was selling loads of office stuff saying they had closed down a company when in true fact they had rolled over a company, cops said sounded like an inside job as well. Just goes to show you don't trust anyone really.
