Yes... I know... and I agree... but I also was the n00b here who hired an expert who I was hoping would offer such advice and keep the deal secure. Especially considering the amount... Isn't that something a escrow provider should at least show some effort in trying to do? If the escrowers did that, it would make this place much less of a hot bed for scammers.

He could have, yes. But there is another side to that story. People are generally lazy to take the longer and safer route. If OgNasty required from the two parties to sign bitcoin messages as confirmation or doing any extra work besides PM exchanges, he might lose clients because of that. If a client is lazy to do what he says, he will just find a different escrow agent that doesn't require all that extra work. That's just the way it is.

Sure, Agree, but that doesn't mean I am asking that he REQUIRES these things. Just a simple message "Hey I see you are new... I would recommend a few additional security steps if you want your deal to be truly secure. You can go forward how you have it setup currently, but it is not 100% secure the way it is being done. I just wanted to let you know that."
