I know your boss.
He used to be 1 of my Perfectmoney vendors back in 2021.
But if I want to trade with you, I'll insist on escrow.
No vex, you and him no be the same person.

queendoreez:
Also consider the insecurities in this country.. going to someone's office to trade and you get kidnapped nko?
Abeg, there's risk in everything in this life shaa.
Choose your risk wisely.

Troy007:
We are saying same thing. Like I said, it depends on which risk you choose to go for. I will always go the escrow route, but even at that I am still taking a risk.

My point in general is, we should stop making it look like escrow is 100%.

I have an issue now with a "trusted" nairalander, just the same way queendoreez had with one and those guys could stand as escrow for any transaction.

Troy007:
She actually has a point with the escrow thing. In as much as escrow is advisable, you can't 100% trust escrow.

You were the lady that had an issue with one "trusted" trader here right?

He could have passed as an escrow for someone at a time.

The guys mentioned as escrows are verified and trusted (I know cos I use one of them), but even at that, I still see any transaction with a stranger online, be it with escrow or not as "risk".

It's just knowing which risk you prefer to go for.

queendoreez:
I knew someone will mention that episode, but that is one out of many my dear. If I had used escrow with the trader maybe I wouldn't be in that mess.
And yes, even among trusted traders, escrows are recommended.

I'd rather trade with escrow 80% certainty.
Than a random stranger with no guarantees.

Nothing is guaranteed in life, but escrows have some percentage of guarantee say money no fit enter bush.

samsard:
There's nothing that's without risk in life. Even deals between family members go wrong and they're not strangers. Governments can even default on their obligations. The question is would you rather risk it with someone who's been fairly reliable or try direct trades with people on a thread with weekly incidence of scams?
Mind you, I know the company she's representing and I know they're fairly reliable. But this thread has peculiarities that one should always consider to avoid encouraging risking money blindly.

dessz:
Lmaoooo... Trying to sow discord and doubt.

Madam... There is NO such thing as a complete full proof system. Definitely, there are things escrow can't forsee and times where these scammer play very mad moves.
But that does not mean people should not use escrow, just because escrow isn't 100% safe doesn't mean we should stop using it and start sending money to person wey I no know. Nobody gives a flying Bleep about where you work at, if you like make you dey work for PayPal, I will still use escrow and advise everyone to.

Please and please, everyone ensure you use escrows for any transaction... When in doubt, use escrow. Do not fall for their scam. I have been in nairaland for over 5 years, the only time I ever got scammed was for 3k wey i no use escrow.

The popular escrows here are recommended based on their consistency and honesty. Trust me, if escrow Wan run with money, no be your $200 abi $1k PayPal fit tempt em. These guys deal with millions daily and dem never run, so no dey try discredit the good they have done.
Wese90 & braindee, I trust em with everything and I WILL always tell everybody to USE an escrow.
If your partner like, make e compose essay on why make you no use escrow, that one concern him papa. Be adamant and always use your escrow. It's not 100% full proof but it's being tested and trusted.

Just my piece.

@ Samsard

If you have been a long time nairalander, you should know several nairalanders who were so much trusted with money that eventually ran away with so much money without any trace. Some of them might not willingly want to do that but situations they didn't expect might have caused it.

I'm not saying those so-called angels you are currently using as ESCROW will run away but want you people to think wide and put in measures.

In addition, hope the so-called angels are aware of naira paid being charged back; they should put in more efforts and measures to prevent such from happening or how to swiftly resolve such if it happens.

onlinediva:
More reasons so-called angels used as ESCROW should be well known beyond online and their measures, checks, etc. to prevent or resolve issues should be known. It is not only PayPal funds that are being charged back; naira paid for cryptocurrencies and even digital currencies are being charged back. So therefore, any ESCROW can land into serious debts or issues at any time without prior notice.

In conclusion, know those so-called angels used as ESCROW beyond online and their measures. ESCROW is beyond just collecting and releasing money.

SilentVboy:
Some nice escrows or honest sellers suddenly develop issues due to the currency or wallet they are dealing with. And that's why I hate PayPal transactions. It can hang or be charged back and a honest seller suddenly enters a black book.

That's why I prefer to stick to my Airtm funds and wise funds transaction. And despite that, in respect to wise, I don't accept certain amount into it but as for Airtm funds, I can receive higher without issues.

So sometimes, it's greed that lead to many, if not all d issues here.

samsard:
I understand you're trying to promote your own system here. But those escrows have prevented hundreds of potential frauds here, and I won't blame anyone that's not comfortable testing the waters with their money. So many people lose money here weekly trying to trusting strangers with their money.
Whether you call them "angels" or not, some of them have VERY, VERY reputable businesses from years of consistency, and that's the strength of trust many of us here draw from to entrust our money with them.
You can include strong evidence for your own business reliability & hope new people are also willing to do it your way.

Be calming down Chief,

Frankly speaking, To accept the use of escrow is a choice to both side(s). The buyer and the seller reserves the right to either accept or reject that term provided there is another option to go about with the transaction.

If one of the parties is giving the option of an invitation to the office (provided there's proof that the office is in existence for physical business transaction) there is nothing wrong in the other party to take the visit if that will be convenient. But if there's a location barrier or any other inconveniences, the party can easily bow of that transaction.

odimbannamdi:
Nobody is above Escrow. If a seller insists on Escrow, it is for the protection of the both of you, and you either accept the term or move on. You don't expect him to come to your office to transact. What if he is not in Lagos?

I really couldn’t care less who you work for or what your company is, everybody has their terms and conditions. It’s either we agree or we don’t, The reason you don’t want to send naira first is also the reason I don’t want to send PayPal first, it’s unfortunate but it is what it is, that’s why I suggested an escrow.

Just because me and you no gree you come here dey cry scammer, Make una dey take una time for this thread, just don’t go about accusing people wrongly.
