Potential Scam Alert - setescrow.org

[bitcointradesg]

Now before you ask me why I'm posting here instead of the scam accusations forum is because recently there's been alot of people messaging me pertaining to the thread I've created here selling bitcoin, and asking me to conduct business through an escrow site setescrow.org.

Now I did some digging into this service and it seems that in Mar 2016 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1418801.0 - Someone created the escrow site setescrow.COM - I haven't used setescrow.com before so don't really know much about it but the main point of the thread is that, upon further digging I realized the scammers recommended setescrow.org which seems to be a totally different domain and site but a direct knock off from setescrow.com

WHOIS checks on setescrow.org says that its real location is hidden - https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/setescrow.org
So clearly these are 2 different sites, and setescrow.org was probably created to scam people off their bitcoins.
Google search of setescrow.org turns up limited results - https://www.google.com.sg/search?rlz=1C1MSNA_enSG683SG683&ei=qbSoW_KWJofK8APeypaoDA&q=%22setescrow.org%22+whois&oq=%22setescrow.org%22+whois&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39k1.3367.4304.0.4463.2.2.0.0.0.0.57.98.2.2.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.2.98....0.xfh-uE6aFe0


few days later someone else got my contact through an OTC channel and once again asked me to transact over the scam site setescrow.org. So it appears it's quite scammy.

TLDR : if anybody asks u to escrow through setescrow.ORG it's most probably an organized scam operation, backed by a fake website ripping off a legitimate(?) escrow service, i.e. escrow scam.

According to you setescrow.org is a scam site as they used same info of https://www.setescrow.com/

I am not agree with you. They might be same owner. There are a lots of company who take all similar domain to prevent scam. So, they can that too.

My opinion: If scam then both sites scam. If legit then both sites legit. If you want to say scam one and another not then you should have some info about scam for scam site and few legit for legit site.

Here is the ANN[1] for that site, I also think that communicating with @pr0d1gy[2] will give you the answer. "No longer online so do not expect a quick answer."
Although this site seems to be honest"setescrow.com," I recommend that you do not use any guarantee platform without verifying that it has a real address.
About setescrow.org, working as an escrow means that the site is reliable for accepting payments, any doubts in that trust makes it invalid, so I do not recommend it.
The directories you mentioned are not enough to judge

what nonsense are you talking?
if they'll buy all other domains why would they host such websites then to invite more controversy to their name/brand/service? did u even open the whois link on setescrow.ORG, the real location is HIDDEN. whereash whois query on setescrow.com is quite transparent. please do your research and validate your claims before posting some guessing work here.

1. FACT - that within 3 days 3 different questionable individuals with terrible english skills after 10 mins about talking some random story proceeds to recommend "setescrow.org" a "HIGHLY TRUSTWORTHY, EFFICIENT AND FAST SERVICE"

2. in my local telegram singapore otc chat, many other nonsense profiles recommending this setescrow.org site has resurfaced.

3. setescrow.com may or may not be good, i have not used them and don't intend to. that's not the point of my comment.

4. im sharing that setescrow.org shows evidence that someone might have borrowed legitimacy from some source to give fake evidence of a scam (like how scammers might send a fake passport saying that's them, you can trust me, or scammers messaging u from a hacked public figure's social media site asking you to send first).

5. scammers play with judgements, opinions and trust. facts don't lie. I'm just listing facts and suggesting a possible questionable pattern here. the only way to know for sure if they're scammers is to actually get scammed right? but we don't need to go there
