I'd encourage everyone receiving faked messages like that to report the users who send you those asap via a scam accusation.
Thank you for the heads up. I have yet to use escrow, but I don't do many deals here anyway. Unbelievable how many scammy asshats there are on this forum.
Same thing happening with OgNasty and other escrows.
@monbux: Could you provide a list of addresses used in those scam attempts, so I (and others) can have a look into them?

These PMs have already scammed multiple users. Please, always, CHECK FOR THE ACTUAL ESCROW'S CONFIRMATION. Ask for a PGP signed message. Stay safe everyone.
