Isn't it possible for a place having escrow services to scam as well?

I mean, I see many new threads being opened about someone that has a new escrow service and is promoting it..

That's why you should use the most trusted escrow that you can find. Someone such as OgNasty.
Their is a small chance they will scam, but let's it's much lower than if you do a deal with someone directly.

Yeah,because you will not be hired an escrow is you are not trusted. Anyone can be an escrow(self proclaimed) but we shouldn't trust anyone. And the advantage of hiring an escrow is that your transactions will be secured and there's a minimal risk of scamming. That is, if you hire the right escrow. So, in picking a certain escrow, you should vouch him/her first. Try to review its profile, or just simply look at the trust of the escrow. And from that you can have a smooth and secure transaction.

If a trading platform also has a review system then it's a double layers of reviews... review of the seller, and then review of escrow. If the platform already has built in escrow review system would you bother looking at the vendor's review?
