Hi there.
Thank you so much for your post! I think you're right to beware. I got the following email from a ebay seller on 3/16/2005 for a laptop computer. The seller is in canada and had a good feedback rating with ebay.It could be legit, but it looks like they use the same e-form.
E-mail:Hi there!
The Sony VAIOŽ TR3A Notebook PCG-TR3A
It is brand new and will be delivered in it's original box. I will give you
the receipt as well. It will have the warranty of 1 year.It comes with the
manual (in English). I have bought it at a govermantal auction for a very
low price and I want to make some profit. If this work I intend to acquire
more products for further saleI have a contract with http://www.Escrowng.com/ a cyber escrow company..( fees allready covered)
These is my assurance.
The item is brand new with 1 full year warranty.
You will have 30 days to test it and if anything is wrong you can get your money back.
Also I'm looking for a long business relation and all what I sell is brand new and unused.
The buy it now price is 950 USD , and if you agree, please send me your
full name and adress in order for me to start the transation and prepare
shipping.You will send the payment to escrow company, they will tell me to send you the package and I will send it in your direction via UPS2day - it will reach your destiantion in 2-3 business days.
The Escrow fees and shipping cost are on me.Thank you and i will wait your reply.

Most of these Escrow sites are fraudulent. If you check the whois (domain registration) record, they're all mostly registered just a few days before the auction. escrowng.com is registered on March 10, 2006 and is hosted on a server in the UK!IMO it's best to avoid any listing with a strange escrow site. Better to be safe than sorry.
http://www.corp.ca.gov/pub/consumeralerts.htm#03170503/17/05 - **INTERNET ALERT - ESCROWNG.COM** - The Department of Corporations has been notified that Escrowng.com is offering escrow services over the internet to residents in California. Escrowng.com is falsely advertising on its website that it holds California Department of Corporations license number 863 1206. Escrowng.com is not licensed by the California Department of Corporations as an escrow agent and does not hold California Department of Corporations license number 863 1206.
