In Response To: Thanks for the warning.. ()

You're welcome Steve,
Unfortunately the scammers are getting very clever, there was an incident of the scammer sending a graphics file that contained a hijack virus that takes over the address bar on Explorer, then when you type in www.escrow.com (at the scammer request to use "for safety")it actually takes you to a fake version of escrow.com. It's obviously big business and when a high degree of the sales and trades need to have a certain amount of trust to get things started,it is easy to trip and lose your money or watch, trust me, I just got scammed ..... and if I ever go back out to Germany and find him ............. sorry just venting at the ethos in general. I am resigned to the fact that my money is gone, but I am still mighty P****d off.
