I sent ActionFraud this email as users have been scammed and I nearly did today.
I was contacted via Skype in regards to $750 worth of Amazon.com gift cards yesterday from a user on Skype named as "fitnessregiment" no inverted quotes.
He explained he would use escrow.com, a very reputable company obviously, so after speaking he said he moves around the world and requires 2-4 days shipping to Scotland, but he is going to Cyprus too. He claims he needs books for Uni etc. I paid for the order as he sent an email from "
service.escrow@europe.com", it claimed the buyer had paid and I seemed skeptical because how could an international bank transfer take that long, and the email looked suspicious from the ACTUAL escrow.com email which is
transactions@escrow.com. Luckily, I contacted them and within hours got a respond saying no payment was sent from the official company, so I cancelled the items and got my money back.
His address he provided me to ship the items was:
1/2, 571 Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun
Glasgow
G31 3DB
United Kingdom
The name provided and email provided by him are:
Dom Gandrers (
computerguy19933@gmail.com)
I looked on the internet for this scam, and put in to google
service.escrow@europe.com scam, and I found evidence matching this exact user:
