Always concerned about scams, how much do escrow services actually protect you? Is there still a risk - or is it just smaller?
There seem to be lots of ads popping up in the classified sections lately where people are selling either refurbed or new plasmas for cheaper than they should be (sometimes almost half price).
Deals always pop up that seem better than they should be. If I could see the item in person, then that would pretty much eliminate the risk. But in the cases where the items are out of state, do escrows work well? I heard about the money-gram scams - do those apply with escrow services too?
Thanks!
