Beware of Fraud: wise-pay.com escrow service
Be careful when using escrow services to pay for expensive items from remote sellers, such as cars, motor bikes or computers. Only use well known escrow services with a proven track record.
See also: We received a spam email claiming to be from a large electronics company in Italy that recommends using wise-pay.com, a fraudulent escrow service. As it turns out the domain of the sender was only registered the day before using a bogus postal address and the email was sent from Romania. Here you go: Thank you for reply.
