Topic: Looking for Escrow Service! (Read 152 times)

Your getting robbed my friend. 99.999999 % sure.

Warning! This should ring enough alarm bells. You are getting robbed!

Nobody pays Bitcoin above market value. What you should do, is create an account at a legitimate exchange, go through KYC, and sell your Bitcoins there.

It will be very difficult for both parties to provide complete evidence, so it will be virtually impossible for the escrow to know what really happened.
There's not even a point of an escrow to get involved: this won't happen! The other side will never pay, don't waste your time and don't make mistakes due to the dollar signs in your eyes

I heard that in western Europe has no criminals and bad people. if anyone is involved in crime, it’s just to enjoy the luxury which is a legitimate reason for criminal.
you're generalizing things a little bit here now. you can blame all people from there for one person and your one bad experience. I agree that in eastern Europe is more crime there, but idiots are everywhere.

to get back to the topic. Did you try on German topic here on the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=16.0
I guess, there you have more chance to find someone for this exchange, also I know a few reputed members from Deutsch local board. It is much better options for you, rather than to wait for someone to travel from the other side of the continent. In this way, the meaning of Bitcoin as fast, the private and secure transaction is completely lost.

There are poor people living in Eastern Europe who have to become criminals in order to survive.

In Eastern Europe everyone mistrusts everyone, at least that is my experience as a tourist.

Even Eastern European women see crime as an attractive feature and are less averse to having a criminal partner compared to women from Eastern Europe.

sorry, but that sounds shady as hell...

If it were me, and somebody offered me plane tickets to eastern europe to exchange crypto for cash, i'd run in the opposite direction. I'm also from the EU, from a country neighboring Germany, and i know eastern europe's reputation... Try going to the (bribed) police officer to tell him you were robbed of magical internet money at gunpoint by some bald dude in a leather jacket, see what happens.

As for you sending him 0.2 BTC first, without escrow, without knowing the other party => you're just asking to get scammed.

6% above market value + free plane tickets sounds to good to be true, so it usually is...

ps: I have nothing against eastern european people... I have worked with many people from ukrain in the past, they're lovely people... I just mean to say that i truely believe that there is more corruption over there than there is in western european countries, and going there to meet somebody you have never met before with an irreversible payment method in your pocket might not be the brightest idear...

Hallo again,

I am the topic starter.

I live in Germany and have been offered to sell my bitcoins for 6% above market value.

The guy I was in contact with said, it would be safest if I am going to fly into his country (Eastern Europe) to do the deal (he would also pay the flight tickets for $400).
The guy who wanted to give me the money (cash or bank transfern in currency EUR) didn't want to travel to Germany for some strange reason (e.g. he earns so much money that it is a waste of time).

As an alternative he suggested, that I can stay at home and I should send him 0.2 bitcoins first and then he would send me the money € 3,333 via bank transfers. And in the next step he has the full risk by first sending me €6.666 and I will send him the remaining 0.4 Bitcoins.

I had very big doubts, after all, he could have disappeared with my 0.2 bitcoins and could not continue to send me the money by bank transfer.


Ultimately, I looked for an Escrow service here.

I suggested this escrow service to the guy in Eastern Europe and he refused by telling that the had bad experience is with such an escrow service.
Overall there were a lot of more warning signs and I'm really glad I didn't trade without your Escrow services.

Maybe everything could have gone well but I think I could have faced a danger.

I can suggest you bL4nkcode as reputed escrow service, here is his thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/escrow-service-of-bl4nkcode-active-2062906 He is active on the forum.
however, you will need to provide more details first. it is clear how you will send bitcoin, but it is very important how you intend to receive the fiat money. for some transactions, you will not be able to find escrow. PayPal for example, no one can guarantee that you will surely get the money. always ask here for a recommendation or opinion for an exchanger, rather change several times the smaller amount if you are doing this for the first time with untested service.
Also, you can check in my signature, there is an exchanger monitor, maybe you'll find something that suits you.

That's huge amount to be trusted on certain users here so I guess you should trust those amount on old reputable members here, try to contact minerjones and ask if he still do a escrow service since so far he is the most ideal guy to do this job and also your second option here is Sebastianju since he is also one of the trusted escrow here. So try your luck to give a shot and don't pick any low key users here.

Make sure you deal with someone who is still active in the forum or logged in recently. There are a couple of escrow providers who haven't logged in for a while.

Hey there,

I am looking for some advice

I want to sell some of my Bitcoins in return of USD 12,000 .

And I need a trustee or an Escrow service for this trade.

The impartial Escrow Service should not pay out the bitcoins until the consideration has been met or no dispute has been filed.

I found this, but it has become really old.
