Why would you possibly think it is a good idea to send first to an account that was literally created today?
Read the thread bud.
To be honest, I highly suspected that he was going to scam me. I was just hoping I was wrong. The only reason why I was selling the account in the first place is because I am done with bitcointalk. I'm tired of keeping up with signature campaigns and just want to be done. I was hoping for one quick last transaction, and I was going to be done.
Yea, that is not a good reason to send first to someone. The additional time/work involve in setting up and using escrow is really not that much.
