Buying through escrow
 

Sorry for the double post. Just realised I'd probably get more responses here. Mods, go ahead and delete the Foo version, if you wish.

Anyway...

I'm trying to order something through Bensbike. They want to do the transaction/shipping through FPS Express Shipping. After a little research, I dug this up. A common page layout isn't quite enough for me to want to ditch this so I'm wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this escrow agency.

I'm getting ready to spend a decent chunk of change and I don't see Bensbike screwing me over. I've bought from them before and had no problem.

What do you folks think? Does this sound legit or should I play it as safe as possible. I'm not too big on escrow since my credit card is already protected against fraud. Which brings up another point, if I do get ripped off by the escrow agency, will my credit card protect offer any protection from losses?

Nevermind.

Answered my questions. Yeah, it's a scam.

Some information HERE just in case anyone is thinking about ordering from these guys.

That site may be bad, but escrow is a good idea. www.escrow.com There are others but that's the one I use.
