Crypto escrow provider

[JohnnyDoe]

Please suggest a reputable escrow provider for a crypto transaction. Seller wants to sell goods for high 6 figures $ and buyer wants to pay in crypto. No multi-sig (buyer doesn't understand it), no random lawyers. Something like escrow.com (they don't accept crypto unfortunately).

Well, well what is secure these days and who can you trust when it comes‌ to crypto!! If binance or kraken provided such a service I would have no doubts,‍ but with all the scams I learn about every single day I'm curios to see⁠ what will be suggested right here.

Thread bookmarked to follow.

They will‍ freeze those coins and ask for a boatload of documents, happens with every single one⁠ of these "escrow" services (when they're not a scam). I know you said multi-sig isn't⁤ an option but unfortunately it is the only option. The other one would be to⁣ use a P2P website and instead of a bank transfer you send the goods, but,⁢ if one was to open a dispute the coins would be returned to the sender.︀

Im trustworthy in the sense of 'I already made my bag and scamming people aint‌ my style'
You both dont know me tho.

Externally, Ive heard of these people |‍ Crypto Law & Escrow Services - Dubai | Dubai Crypto Law
but they fall into⁠ the 'random lawyers' category.

I say go with care if⁤ you are using the suggested company. It is less than a few months old :⁣

Chances that something︁ will go wrong are ultra high. You never know how this is going to end︂ by now. They may have the best intention but brutally fail once they get the︃ business rolling.

Seems like this domain has been hosted in 3 different providers⁣ during the past 2 years? This last '6 months' have been at GoDaddy.

 

[JohnLocke]

how do you see that?

It is registered 06.09.2023 and 66 days old!!

I believe it‍ is your company if I'm not wrong!

 

[TheCryptoAnt]

'Hosting History'

tf?

 

[JohnLocke]

That means the domain was expired, or was‌ a placeholder or something but activated again 66 days ago and now it is registered‍ with a website. Only the owner of the company can know that. And if you⁠ are not the owner I don't understand why you try to take this discussion.

 

[TheCryptoAnt]

yeah thats what I meant, the domain existed before and now its reactivated?

Its Sunday morning and I just think you are wrong? Not everybody in the internet⁣ is trying to get you 🙄

 

[JohnLocke]

That's up to you to decide. But⁠ fact is this company has not existed longer than 66 days! Do you want more⁤ proof ?

Well here we go:

With all what is going on on OffshoreCorpTalk I⁣ have learned a lot.

I readily admit when I am wrong, but so much information⁢ comes to me here every day that I am quite well-informed about what is going︀ on. Of course, there are cases where I cannot know what is happening or where︁ I am surprised just like all of you.

 

[TheCryptoAnt]

Wasnt it easier to︀ send this proof initially instead of accusing me of being the owner of the website?︁ lmao ese ive been around this forum for some time already... If I wanted to︂ plug my s**t Ive have done so already me thinks.

Ty for sharing.

 

[JohnLocke]

It is certain that Wayback Machine does not have all websites saved. But if a‌ website has been successful for 2 years, I have not yet experienced that it isn't‍ stored there. I have yet to see such a successful website that is not listed⁠ there. But that's a different discussion.

My point is also just that one must be⁤ careful, I can't handle all the threads and inquiries that come from users who have⁣ been deceived, made mistakes, or otherwise been financially wronged. I would like Offshorecorptalk to remain⁢ a forum where you can find useful information, and so we try hard here to︀ fight against any scam!

BTC-ASIA maybe? Never used them so I don't know if they are legit or not‌ and some fees involved.

 

[Lincoln Burrows]

If it's 6 figures on stake, then both of you can afford a plane ticket‌ to meet in person.

 

[Lincoln Burrows]

And conduct the deal in person without using an‌ escrow?!

Also, Is the product physical or virtual?

Impossible, the deal requires paperwork and shipping. And anyway in person deals are by no way safe (see the gipsy scams).

Physical with some virtual elements.

Bumping this. Johnny, did you happen to find a reputable crypto escrow service? Or is there one now that someone can recommend in 2025?

[W Fish]

What for?
What do you mean by reputable?
There is a practically endless variation of multisigs‍ ....
I think that it would be possible to find a notary who could hold⁠ the key for a while.
For a simple buy/sell there is hodlhodl for example.

So I guess for geting a sensible answer you need to refine the question parameters.
