UPDATES


PEDOPHILLA

Pedophilla is a TERRIBLE thing and it's in your neighborhood......



This is not an "Escrow Fraud" update, but I felt compelled enough by the story
to post it. (If you run a site, please post it there too if you too feel so
compelled).

This story at http://revisitingthebeast.com/index.html is an account of a boy
that was sexually abused and faced his abuser years later. It's a lengthy read
(several pages) but it's DEFINITELY worth your time. Although this takes place
in a Small town in Northeast PA it could happen in your town too. Please read
and share.

Search Page

Now, on the search page, if you hoover over the camera images, you will see a
thumbnail of the site it represents (if there is an image available.) Other
suggestions are always welcome. Either use the Feedback or send an email to the
admin at this domain.


AS OF 12/10/10

Facebook

We are now working on developing our Facebook page as a place to get the word
out about these types of scams as well. Please take the time to "Like" our page
on Facebook which will go a long way to spreading the word.


AS OF 11/12/10

More Updates

Ok, we now no longer call RSS Feed Beta. It seems to be working well. Certainly
if improvements are needed or requested, please contact us with suggestions.

Also I have implemented a change on how the different layouts are presented. As
a New layout is added it used to get added in the middle (Because of how SQL
does sorting of Words with Numbers in them). Without boring you with the
details, New Layouts (generally) will go to the bottom of the page as opposed to
popping in the middle.


AS OF 04/03/09

RSS Feed in Beta now online

Well, I have finally gotten around to getting the RSS feed of our fraud database
up and running.For anyone who is interested it can be accessed at via the link
near the top or by going to http://escrow-fraud.com/feed/feed.xml.

At the moment, it's only Beta, so suggestions are welcomed. It will "Update"
every 10 minutes. Unfortunately at this time, it will update the <lastBuildDate>
element at that time too (regardless of if there is any change) until I have
time to put the logic in that verifies if something has actually changed.

It currently will display the last 500 entries into the database. I don't know
if that's too many or not enough, but that's the number we went with. The list
will also be the Newest entry on top to the oldest entry on the bottom. Links
are provided in the feed back to the fraud_data that we have on file. The feed
also contains the IP address which we found the site at the time of entry into
the database.

Again, any suggestions are welcomed.


AS OF 04/02/09

The "Feedback" System is now back online after a long stint. Thanks for your
patience and understanding. Feel free to use the feedback system to report sites
to us as well as provide suggestions on how we can improve this site.


AS OF 08/27/08

I have recovered the database and image gallery and made them available again.
Only the "New Gallery" is working. The old one was going away anyway, so now
will be a good time to update that code.

Right now, the functionality to add NEW fraud sites to the database is limited
as well. I hope to have that fixed by the weekend.

If you see any other issues, please email me (escrow-fraud at escrow-fruad.com)
or pm PEG in the formus.
-Thanks


AS OF 08/05/08

Unfortunately, a sever crash has left much of the site (or atleast the most
important parts of the site) unavailable. I am working to resolve these issues
but it takes time. Please be patient as I try to get these issues resolved.

If you notice things I have missed please post a message in the forum as the
email for this site is down too.


AS OF 03/23/08

I continue to make improvements. I am updating the gallery to make loading
quicker and more efficient. I am also adding new features, mostly for those who
administer this site, however, others may see the effects in quicker additions
of fraud sites to the database as well as other updates.

Of course most recently the forum was updated to a newer version wish should
help cut down on the spammers as well as increase performance.

Lastly, I am in the process of moving the site to it's new home over at
dotservant.com . They have graciously provided us a sponsored account. If you
are looking for a place to host your site, please consider giving them your
business.

As always, suggestions are always welcome. As are donations (See DONATION button
on left).
Thanks

NOT QUITE THE BEGINNING

Ok, this is just the beginning of what I have to say, but not the beginning of
the story. First, I want to address the question of HOW I was able to find out
that several people (besides myself) had transactions on WS-TRADE.COM.

First, suffice it to say, I am somewhat computer savvy. I did not HACK into
their site. I did not (nor do I want to) obtain personal information or credit
information (as most of you are sellers and the credit info would be from the
buyer anyway). But I do not (as of yet) want to reveal the hole, because, I
intend to exploit it so that I can try and save others.

I am just another user of the internet that got frustrated with the fact that I
got swindled. So as my frustration grew, I did some investigating. Filed a
report, and stumbled on the hole. Since they (and hold no doubts, I STRONGLY
believe that those operating WS-TRADE.COM are the guilty parties here in
conjunction with the alleged buyers) exploited me (and likely you if you are
reading this), I feel it's just as well to use that against them.

I will reveal (later on) how I have gotten in, but until I know who is who... I
intend to be vague about it.


MORE OF THE STORY:

Well let's see. this all started out with me selling a laptop on eBay. Given
that I am a dealer for the company, I decided to try it out. I didn't really
want the hassle of an international shippment so I restricted it the US only.
Beside, since these are drop shipped from the factory, I was not sure if they
could ship internationally and if so I was not sure where.

I was not suprised when I was contacted by an individual to see if I could ship
to Spain. I advised him that I would have to check with the factory to see if
they could and verify the shipping. My account rep. advised me that they could
and that shipping would be about $250.00 but was unsure exactly because the
shipping department had gone for the day.

I advised my buyer of this and he said no problem and recommended the
ws-trade.com as a means of conducting the transaction. I checked it out, and had
some questions about the protection of the seller. Everything revolved around
the buyer. So I sent an email to support@ws-trade.com and info@ws-trade.com . I
got no response, just a transaction initiated by the buyer. The email initiating
the transaction was telling me to register and go through the process.

Given that I was kind of anxious (here is my fault) to sell the laptop, and a
web search turned up NOTHING negative, I proceeded with the transaction. Once it
was sent and received, I got NOTHING from the buyer. Oddly enough he changed his
user id on eBay as well. No response to emails from the buyer or ws-trade.com. I
tried calling ws-trade.com and all I got was a voice mail to either "Press 1 to
leave a fax or wait and leave a message."

After about 2 days of no response, I concluded that I had been frauded. I filed
with econsumer.gov and I filed with the IC3 (formerly the IFCC)

Additionally, I have filed a police report with my local police department.

Well I hadn't given up hope of trying to recover my loses, so with a certain
amount of diligence, I kept going back to the site and tried to find out what I
could, that's when I found the hole and exploited it. I was able to view
multiple transactions. That is when I decided to email all those users of
ws-trade.com that I was able to to inform them of the potential for fraud. For
some it was just in time for others, it was too late. Some however, had sent
their product but were able to have it intercepted prior to delivery.

I would be very interested in hereing your stories of success or loss as well to
help inform others about the potentials for loss. If you are willing, please
feel free to email me with your story and I will add it to the site. I will only
post information that you give me permission to. I will post stories
annonymously (or change names to a fictious name), however, To protect me, I
will still require that you provide ME with your real name and infomration.
