Title: Offering Escrow Service
Post by: Peleus on May 02, 2013, 08:45:26 AM
Well I've seen a ton of people get scammed on this forum and quite frankly I'm getting pretty sick of watching people lose out. As a result I'm going to try and do something small about it. I tend to be on here a lot, and when I am I'm willing to offer myself as an escrow service.

I'm not prepared to do anything complicated. Basically you PM me with what the deal is. X amount of coins from person A for Y amount of coins from person B. You send them to me and I pass them on to the opposite person once I've received payment from both sides. If there is any mucking around, lack of payment etc I simply refund your money and so on loses.

So, that's what I'm offering. Hopefully it can help others out. Can do most of the major coins immediately and ill chase up some other wallets if needed. (Have BTC, LTC, FTC, CNC).

So some questions I feel I'd commonly get.

How do I go about it?
Work out a deal with someone and once both parties are ready PM me with the forum name of both members of the deal and the exact agreement. I will reply to both parties with the addresses you need to send coins to so you can track it. Once received the coins are exchanged, otherwise refunded.

Why should I trust you?
I've got some trades here, but other than that its simply a case of having a lot of time invested in the forum and not willing to waste reputation and lots of hours of forum time for silly amounts of coins. In addition if popular I hope to eventually introduce a token fee of something like 0.5%, so ripping anyone off cuts my own throat with that regards. Finally, if it makes you feel more comfortable I'm happy to do it in small increments (say 20% of the deal at a time).

What of you're not on?
As you can see by my forum time I'm on a lot. I'm in the AEST timezone so that should give you an idea of when I won't be on. You have the choice of PMing me and waiting for me to reply or finding someone else. Otherwise when I'm online it should only take time between instantly and 5-10 minute.

Since its free what do you want in return?
At the moment all I ask is after a successful use of the service both parties come back and vouch all went well.

So, not much more to say, the offer is now open.

*shrug*
Firstly I'm not forcing anyone to do it.
Secondly I've already got 94 hours sitting around on the site, if I was going to scam I can think of a lot faster ways to do it with less hours invested.
Finally, I've got a few trades here but I'm not expecting to suddenly anyone to trust me with a 100BTC trade. That's why I'm saying if you've got a small trade or something with 1-2K FTC and you're not sure about the bloke you're dealing with I'm probably a better bet.

I'm certainly not saying that I have a long established history on the forum.... but I don't see those members stepping up and offering the service.
