FOR ALL YOU THAT SAID ITS A SCAM YOUR RIGHT ESCROW.com = FRAUD NEW SCAM SETUP

11-08-2004, 11:55 AM

Ok,

Here is how it works.

The person sells a car cheap.

SOmeone agrees to buy it =>

They send you a link to "http://escrow.com" WARNING DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK That is a FRAD ESCROW.com

The REAL Link is https://escrow.com

I called up TECH support. And they said it's a brand new scam out right now. That can add a cookie/trojan that will redirect all you escrow.com links from ebay and paypal ect to the FRAUD site.

They can generate an email that looks identical to the Escrow email.

The Site also has a FAKE Help Me Live Support that will say I am sorry sir I can't give out personal info but I can help you with the last transaction. That the seller has made.

REPETE https://escrow.com = LEGIT

http://escrow.com = FRAUD.

BE FUCKING WARNNED.

The email account came from an aol Account. If it's hacked I can't do anything if it's the acutal account from which I doubt I can have fun.

Nothing -=)

I did a search for escow.com on the other pc and I found a 1-888 # and called them up.

I noticed that on my pc the banners would not work sometimes...

umm thats the same url ???

Both owned by the same company.

the url is more than likely hidden but escrow.com will forward you to the secure server.

Yeah. Wouldn't the domain name be the same even if one and not the other is located on a secure server? It appears to be just 2 entry points to the same domain.

I think he's saying that the scammer instals a trojan on the buyer that redirects http://escrow.com to the scam site. Seems plausible, on an old fucked up PC I have kicking around every time I type in anything without the www I get sent to the scumware's search site.

There has to be something more to it than that. I've seen a lot of scammy phising urls, but can always tell the difference in the email status bar (not that I'd do it if it look legit anyway).

thanks for the warning. you made me paranoid because I'm about to close a major domain transaction through them today.

but http://escrow.com isn't a fraud url/site.

Fraud/phishing comes into play when the link text reads escrow.com or escrow.com but isn't (highlight the links). of course you're aware of this, but the cookie-angle adds a whole new dimension to the scam. not to mention countless "fake" escrow services spring up at a rate of 10 per month accdg to authorities. but you make a good point to always log-in through https:// when visiting escrow.com.

once again, thanks. you made me doublecheck, recheck and call escrow.com to verify my account.
