[RTTY] Escrow agent ??

[Jim Preston]

Be very careful. Check out this url.

http://www.carbuyingtips.com/fraud.htm

Scroll part way down the page to the article "The Fraudulent Escrow 
Service Scam". While this page is more related to buying cars, the same 
principles apply. Snap-trade is one of the sites listed as "Suspicious 
escrow sites that we are currently watching or shutting down, and you 
should avoid as of February 7, 2004".
