Phishing targeting bidders for bitcoins being auctioned via bitcoin escrow site!

[Duke_Charlie]

How would you handle a phishing attack targeting bidders through an escrow bitcoins that are being auctioned by anyone who has created a bitcoin escrow website?

First of all this happens all the time with site escrows. This is why you should not use them. Some attacks look better then others. Using email is really not a very secure way to communicate with an escrow service as it is possible to forge an email.

To answer your question, I would decline to do business with the seller, and likely open up a scam accusation on the scam accusations page.
