Escrow scam: how buyers scam sellers

Sometimes a "client" insists on escrow for SIM cards or SMS service. In this niche it is often a red flag.

How this scam works

The scammer receives SIM or service, uses it, then claims "nothing works" and asks for refund.

Why this is dangerous

  1. Escrow often cannot technically separate truth from lies in these digital services.
  2. For SIM/SMS it is hard to prove proper usage after delivery once a dispute starts.
  3. If someone aggressively pushes escrow exactly for this product, it is often an attempt to get service for free.
