Is this legit..
My buddy got 3 ipods for $300USD for switzerland on ebay...
He used Western Union, and that website...

I think he got scammed $300USD

Anyone ever used this site?

[googe]

escrow.com is legit.

[Kobe]

if he gets the Ipods...

30GB MOVIE IPODS...

I'll be ordering a few from that guy aswell LOL

I'd be more worried about the Western Union than the Escrow service.

Yah, but escrow makes it so, the seller will not recive the money untill then buyer has recived the item....

doesn't your friend send it to Escrow???

[90s_tuner]

I have a feeling that your friend got hosed in a fake escrow site. Are you sure its escrow.com? They can send you fake emails...

[Celica TVS3]

If he actually sent the cash to escrow.com he's fine. If he doesn't get the ipods they'll send him his cash back.

Sounds like he got scammed.

Escrow.com accepts payments directly the last time I checked. They did not use Western Union...

Yeah the Western Union part sounds fishy but escrow.com is legit. This is the only Escrow site you should ever use.

- Escrow.com does NOT accept payment through Western Union or Money Gram.

- You will never receive detail regarding payment or shipping instructions via email.

better make sure your friend didn't get scammed if he used WU, cuz they don't take payment through WU?? :dunno:

im pretty sure his fucked..

Im gunna call him later and tell him his fucked..
is there any way he can cancel the payment still?

6. Does Western Union offer an escrow service or any kind of buyer protection?

- Western Union does not offer an escrow service or any type of "purchase protection" policy.

...you can only stop the transaction if you call western union reps and if the payment has NOT been "received/completed" by the other guy, so unfourtunately most likely he got scammed :(

[BerserkerCatSplat]

He probably got sent to a spoof Escrow.com page, and thought it was real.

Lesson here: Stay the hell away from anyone who wants to use Western Union.
