Fraud Tips / Escrow Services

Escrow services are recommended for purchases of valuable items such as vehicles and jewelry. An escrow service works to protect the buyer and the seller.

Escrow works like this:

• Buyer and seller agree to terms of sale
• Buyer pays Escrow agent
• Seller is notified by Escrow agent when money is received and ships the item
• Buyer accepts and inspects the merchandise
• Seller receives payment
