So i just wanted to share my experience with this site:
Code:
escrow.social

I set a listing for one social media account of mine on fameswap, got a message from someone who was interested and i should contact him on IG.
I did it and he said he does not like the escrow service of fameswap really much, so he suggested the site mentioned above.
Checked the site, good trustpilot reviews, legit live chat und nice built website.
I think it was my fault, i wanted money fast, so i forgot to check twice and think about the deal some time.
The guy on IG said that he sent the payment to the site, i asked for proove, and got it.
So i gave my account to the site.
In the end say said i have to pay a fee of $120 in order to recieve the account.
I did not do it and wanted to cancel the transaction.
They said i have to come back 24 later to get my account.
They just wanted another $500 or they would keep the account.

All in all my bad, i feel stupid for wanting the fast money and just not do it on popular sites.

Hope some of you can avoid this.
 
Ah shit. We should have a website shitlist section on BHW. So we all can benifit from the collective experience of each member.
 
Damn, sorry to hear that man.

That site was created 3 weeks ago.
 
Is there any way you can retrieve the account back? Maybe you've logged on to the account on another device or something?
 
You just gave them the account credentials right? You should still have your original email

They logged all devices out
 
Report to Instagram that your account got hacked and they have changed the email. Provide them your original credentials

Another good idea for users here would be to post the name of a website here for suggestions before making high-value deals with unknown entities. We all can benefit from Sherlocks like you.
 
Any site replicating the name of the original site is an obvious scam, in this case, escrow. Just because it has a name of Escrow, people believe it without giving a thought. Escrow.com is a trusted and legitimate site but ESCROW.SOCIAL is a SCAM.

Moral: Always check the extension of the site before making payment.
