You have to be careful about this Sir, I have never read and heard about this. If ever it's legit then a good thing but if it is not...stay away from it.

I would avoid it. If you want to use a trusted escrow with a proven track record, which is far better than whatever internet escrow, then at least look into the list of forum members that can be found here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910). I would never trust an internet site with any amount of coins.

BTC-asia.com

They claim that they've been operating since 2013 when really their domain has only been created in March of 2014.

Anyways, their site looks completely bogus and I wouldn't trust a single cent with them. In fact, any escrows that are outside of the forum should be used with caution, because the reason they have to own a site is to have a gateway to scam.

If you took notice, their multisig escrow page is also down conveniently. I don't think it's a coincidence, since they would not be able to scam money easily with multisig escrow.

0.05% fee for escrow would be unsustainable for them in the long run as well. The only way for them to make money, is to scam you. Ninjaboon has specifically said do not use the site since 2015, and has not actively maintained it since then.

Your analysis could not have been better for anyone who need to make a decision. For the mere fact that they could misrepresent their existence is enough red flag. If a service has been in place since 2013 in the crypto space there is enough time for them to have a presence on the largest bitcoin forum but unfortunately I am yet to see then having such presence till this time. @op and anyone who wants to use an escrow there are enough people who offer such services and you get it done.

The problem isn't actually that they don't have a presence on the forum, but rather that the site isn't even supposed to be online right now since the founder of this escrow service actually said 3 years ago that the site has been offline for a few months.

Unless someone can verify that ninjaboon is actually the owner of the site, it can be assumed that the site is a scam. Even if it is verified that Ninjaboon is still the owner of the site, he hasn't been that active on the forum.

So either way, you have plenty of more trustworthy escrows on forum. Just use them, instead.

I'm sorry I can't help with that Sir, though I can't inform you so much about that article at least I have given you warning to be careful always due to widely spread scam. It is up to you Sir, but as I was reading the replies and quote, most of them haven't really been or heard with the bit asia.

beware I don't own this site anymore (since march 2016) and I do not know the current owners.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240370.msg14277293#msg14277293

I've had reports that the new owners are not responding to emails.
