[PSA] Don't buy BFL preorder transfers

[dogie]

Why? Even with escrow they are worth 0.

Seller: Offering escrow.
Buyer: Ok I'm in. *pays into escrow*
Seller: Sends transfer orders.
*escrow released*
*a few weeks pass*
Seller to payment processor: I never received order, refund it.
*payment processor forces refund*
BFL: WTF ONG Y U NO PAY I CANCEL ORDER NOW
Buyer: .....fuck.

You cant protect yourself against this, you're already in one scam, don't fall for it again.

That's why you don't release the escrow until you have the goods in-hand.

Otherwise what's the point of escrow?

Because people believe BFL transfer is secure. In the same way they thought BFL purchases were secure?
