Prevention they say is better than cure, it’s better to avoid partnership deals that might lead to any trouble. Escrow cannot be completely trusted and I am glad you have mentioned how some scammers can work with escrow agents to make the deal look quite real and then end up scamming the innocent.
Although I have never done a deal like this but judging from the stories of people that I have read here on the forum, I can say that partnership deals are the most risky deals anyone would want to try, because both partners have never met and everything they share in common is based on trust and many at times, its discovered that one person is not coming in with genuine intentions and this completely ruins the deal.
You are absolutely right. Like I always say, whatever deal that’s not guaranteed to be safe is better to be avoided. Escrow method for me is good. And I think this is the first time am reading that scammers now work with Escrow agent and I must say that this is really appalling but I believe all is under control.
Partnership is good but not in a platform like this where people do not really know themselves. There is possibility that the OP is sure of delivering but the question is , who will trust him enough for this? It would have been better he didn’t suggest it at all because there’s really no way he can get a partner here on the forum except for some newbies that probably didn’t do their research.
