How this scam works
The scammer receives SIM or service, uses it, then claims "nothing works" and asks for refund.
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.
Why this is dangerous
- Escrow often cannot technically separate truth from lies in these digital services.
- For SIM/SMS it is hard to prove proper usage after delivery once a dispute starts.
- If someone aggressively pushes escrow exactly for this product, it is often an attempt to get service for free.
