escrowing shouldnt be seen as a way to earn trust. anyone who goes in with that mindset, imo, is sketchy at best. escrow is something offered as a protective service for other forum members because you are deemed trustworthy by the majority to be trusted with a sum of money. in short, its the other way around; you escrow because you are trusted (and willing to offer your time), not escrow to gain trust.
Do you really think people see escrowing as a way of gaining trust? They just say that to hide their real intentions, anyone who knows how an escrow works will understand that you need to be trusted in order to be one. Do they really think anyone would use their ''escrowing service'' to scam them? You have to be pretty naive to think so.
I understand what escrow means, and I know it can only be done if you are highly trusted.
but what if someone played for an year, got broke, got corrupted or just wanted to leave a life behind. Why will they not do it?
I mean someone with bad intention, good social engineering skills, and knowledge can pull it off
