(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31288) People have trusted him with hundreds of thousands of dollars of bitcoins. You can find his escrow thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141672.0) Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0) and here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276897.0) are lists of people who are known to provide escrow services. You really need to do some research on your own though. This is YOUR money you're talking about. You can't simply trust anyone that comes into a forum conversation and says, "Hey, I know a guy that provides escrow. He's trustworthy." They could be working together. They could be the same person with 2 different userIDs here. They may just have no idea what they're talking about. You are responsible for the actions you take, and you are responsible for your losses. If you don't want to be scammed, then you have to take the time to learn and understand who can be trusted and who can't. Take a look at the posting history from the past few days, weeks, and/or months of the person you are considering. Take a look at their trust page. Take a look in the "scammer" subforum and see if anyone is expressing any concerns about them there. Search the forum and see what people have said about them and what sort of transactions they've been involved in. Make sure they've been around for a while and have put in the effort to gain a reputation worth protecting. Title: Re: Escrow?, how? where?
