Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 8:30am On Sep 04, 2021 |
I raise this concern because of a few factors. I strongly believe that what qualifies a person as Escrow shouldn't just be a blind blanket trust. It should be ability to easily identify and trace the Escrow in question should anything go wrong because nobody is an angel. Almost all highly respected and reputable people in Nigeria eventually caved in to sharp practices. How can someone claim to be an escrow an yet hides his identity online and offline and can't be traced. I mean people are collectively going to commit millions in cash or gadgets to this individual. 11 Likes 1 Share |

MODIFIED' An honest escrow that has nothing to hide should: 1. have an active dedicated escrow thread on nairaland. 2. He should provide his full names and details on the thread. 3.He should provide a verifiable address. 4. He should also post a copy of his valid ID on the thread. Original Drivers License, National ID card and voters card are valid IDs. Work or business ID cards are not valid ID. 5. If he can't post his valid ID and details on the thread then he has to at least post it to any individual using his Escrow service. 6. He should charge the individuals money for the Escrow service to compensate for all the troubles. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I've seen a thread where a so called escrow that was honest at first suddenly changed his mind and absconded with people's money and cannot be traced. This warrants that Escrow's have to step up their game and prove that they're transparent and have nothing to hide. 8 Likes |

OgogoroFreak: Some nairaland escrow charge individuals a cheap token for their services. And yes its best Nairaland Escrow's should go fully professional and charge people well for their services but also provide their full details to forestall fraud. Not paying for the service doesn't mean individuals should hand over their hard earned money to a random person online. Do you even have an idea how much individuals collectively hand over to an escrow in a week. I once read a thread where a single person handed over $2500 dollars to a nairaland escrow. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mmadu2:The point is, escrow dont force anyone. I personally dont and wont use the escrow here and no one cares. Thats the point. These escrow are not forcing anyone. They are not Official escrow service and its silly to tell them to put their valid IDs on a public space for the world to see and use for crime if they want. 5 Likes 1 Share |

OgogoroFreak: Ogbeni, I'm not suggesting that Escrow is forcing anyone. I'll simply trying to block a major loophole in the Escrow services here that has led to some people loosing their money already and that will continue to enable such fraud in the future. Since you aren't an escrow and neither use an escrow then this thread is not for you. Its for those that have been defrauded by so called Escrow's and those Escrow's that want to prove they're honest but don't know how. If there are ills in our society it doesn't mean we can't help correct them because we haven't been affected though others are affected 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 9:39am On Sep 04, 2021 |
Benjaniblinks: Look at mindset. Are we discussing ratio here. Have people lost their money to Escrow? If yes can we make escrow service better? That's what we're discussing. So that people are losing their money less means that they should continue loosing their money since you haven't lost yours. You see Nigerian mentality. 2 Likes |

Mmadu2:What ever service you use, you should know the danger involved. Fraud can not stop even if they drop all the details you requested. If we are serious about the escrow thing, we should talk to Seun osewa to create an Official nairaland escrow service. |
Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 9:43am On Sep 04, 2021 |

Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 9:48am On Sep 04, 2021 |
OgogoroFreak: Yes fraud can stop if measures are put in place to stop it. Talking to Seun to create an official nairaland escrow service is an excellent suggestion but till that happens we all have to generally raise our voices and put pressure on the current Escrow's to step up their game and do better. You can open a thread to ask Seun to help but people will still oppose you the way they're opposing me now cos not everyone in nairaland has it intact upstairs. 2 Likes |

Benjaniblinks: Nothing wrong with details on public forum for someone that wants to provide he's trustworthy. Details on public forum is the highest proof of honesty. Billions of people have their details and background and entire families on Facebook and public social media even when they aren't trying to be honest. All the celebrities and media personalities you read about online and offline have their entire details on public forum and nobody is dead. Why are you people making an issue out of nothing. 2 Likes |
Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by OgogoroFreak(m): 9:59am On Sep 04, 2021 |
Mmadu2:Nobody will oppose an Official escrow service but people will still lose money by using other escrow service cos of cost. Now, these escrow services are almost free or free cos the guys are also into other hustle that they have time for. But once they become Official escrow, they would have no time for anything else cos lots of people would want to use the service and that would cost them their time then they have to make it a business and charge reasonable amount to enable them run the service and also catter for their needs. |

Mmadu2:on a place like nairaland? where ordinary Monica is cloned to defraud people? when you say celebrities and Media personalities, that's on a different level, not for ordinary individual. by the way, their data has been used to scam lot of people and you know it. |
Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 10:04am On Sep 04, 2021 |
OgogoroFreak: Precisely what I'm drumming for. They should make it an official professional business where they charge people well for the service rendered and in return provide the service with absolute transparency and full disclosure of their details. I already said that on my earlier replies, please go back read and you will see it. |
Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 10:10am On Sep 04, 2021 |
Benjaniblinks: There are ordinary people with all their details on Facebook and other social media. Are you denying that too. Go back and read my write up: The Escrow should have his own thread solely dedicated to the Escrow service. His details will definitely include his personal phone number and whatsapp number. Nobody will use your personal phone number and whatsapp number to scam people except you let them. That has never happened on nairaland. You're simply cooking up non existent scenarios to discredit and oppose this thread. What exactly are you on to. |

Mmadu2:Full disclosure of their details online is not part of it bro. Its risky in this internet age. I will never support such. How would you feel if EFCC and interpole came knocking at your door for a crime you know nothing about but all traces and fingers are pointing to you? Thats what identify theft can do to you. 1 Like |

Re: Gadget Purchase: Are Nairaland Escrow's A Disaster Waiting To Happen. by Nobody: 10:28am On Sep 04, 2021 |
OgogoroFreak: I begin to question your intent and level of knowledge. Are you for fraud or against it, please tell us. Billions of people have full disclosure on Facebook including their village address and all their parents and brothers and sisters and cousins. They aren't keeping money and gadgets for people and they aren't holding any positions of trust yet they have full disclosure. Then someone that wants to receive lots of money from people and wants to stand in a high position of trust shouldn't have full disclosure. That is the number one recipe for fraud. He goes broke one day and gathers enough money from people and disappear without any means to trace him. 1 Like |
