DireWolfM14’s Escrow Service
To help support Bitcoin, the forum, the community, and in an effort to prevent scams
I am offering Escrow Services free of charge.
WARNING!
Beware of Impostors!
If your address isn't posted here on this forum, either in this thread or sent through a personal message,
and if it isn't provided with a PGP signature, assume it came from an impostor and a scammer!
Why should you trust me?You shouldn’t. Scrutinize my reviews (the ones I'v received and the ones I've left for others,) read a bunch of my posts, and make up your own mind if I'm to be trusted or not. I’m just a semi-anonymous figure on the internet, but after some scrutiny you may decide to allow me to help you trade safely.
Why am I offering my service for free?I don’t want to work for free, but I will if it keeps just one person from being scammed. I want to help bring bitcoin to the mainstream, I want the forum to feel like a safe place for traders, sellers, and buyers, and I want to thwart scammers before they have a chance. My service is free, so there’s no reason not to use an escrow provider, there’s no excuse to get scammed. It may cost you an extra transaction fee and a little extra time to coordinate the deal, but I won’t charge you a satoshi.
What services do I offer for free?Any trade between two individuals. Physical or digital goods, currency exchanges, whatever you can think of that’s legal. The more I know about what you’re trading the safer you will be (in case arbitration is needed,) but I don’t
really need to know what you’re trading. I will not provide escrow services for Bitcointalk.org account sales, services
banned by the forum administrators, or any cloud service accounts, credits, or invites.
Currency exchanges involving reversible, fiat-based payment services like (but not limited to,) PayPal will not be accepted due the high risk of charge-backs.
Escrow services for advertising campaigns, bounties, games and rounds, and other businesses are available for a nominal fee.
Coins that I can escrow:Bitcoin and any coin compatible with a Trezor Model T hardware wallet.
For more esoteric coins I can set up a software wallet on an offline machine, but fees will apply.
How it works:The two parties come to an agreement on price, delivery, inspection period, and any other logistics that may relate to the trade. Once the particulars are settled, I am contacted by PM with both parties included in a group discussion. I will provide a unique address or addresses for your trade. All addresses will be signed with my PGP key.
Once I share the address(es) with the party the buyer will send the payment. The buyer will then share the transaction ID with the me and the seller. Once the payment has been made the seller will deliver the item. Any information relative to delivery (i.e. tracking numbers) will be shared. Once the buyer has received and inspected the item, the payment will be forwarded to the seller.
Transaction fees will be deducted from the amount sent to the final recipient. I will not be accountable for transaction fees. Transactions will be sent with minimal fees, unless I am instructed otherwise.
Communications:All official communication will be conducted here on the forum. Communication for trades may be held here in this thread, or through personal messages. I will not communicate with anyone regarding escrow services outside the forum, unless previously agreed upon. If members are unable to communicate effectively due to PM restrictions, we may move the discussion to a third party app, such as Keybase or Telegram, but all official communications will be made here on the forum.
I will never contact you to solicit my services. If someone approaches you claiming to be me and offering escrow services, they are trying to scam you. Be wary of impostors.
