Funny, the seller was only okay with using OgNasty or minerjones.

ONLY THEM.

Doesn’t that imply some sort of coordination?

Probably because they're two of the most established and trusted escrows here? That's what you requested, right?

Sending you a DM, interested. Must use trusted escrower here, or Bitrated.

Didn't you make a little research as to the two options provided? How did you come up with Og and not minerjones?

Also, did you not also check the background of the user you're about to do transaction with? I'm asking because that user was inactive for more than 3 years before suddenly coming out selling something.

How can I properly secure my account when this platform doesn’t even have basic (and FREE) services to do so? Like google 2fa.

A 2FA could indeed be of help. But knowing that it doesn't have this feature, why did you proceed with the transaction? Also, what happened to you could be considered isolated. I mean, it's not everyday that an account involved in a transaction got hacked in the middle of it.

And the reason the escrower should also have had a red flag was that there’s no physical way the package could have arrived to me that quickly. Not just the fact that he hadn’t given tracking info yet.

What was the agreement, by the way? When could the escrow release the fund? Is it when the item has already arrived? Or is it enough that a tracking number is provided? Or could he release the funds upon instruction of the buyer?

1) does OgNasty have any access to any backend systems that allows him to reset a password for a user? Like a support feature.

I don't think so.

Have the three of you been communicating until now? How would you proceed from here? Do you believe that user burky155 really sent the item that you bought? I guess you should communicate with him/her. If he/she indeed sent it, then no problem. If he/she didn't, then this him/her scamming you.
