Something very suspicious happened to me today:

I was in negotiations with CripLib for me to buy a full member account from him for .04 BTC. For ~60% of the trades that I do, escrow is not used (the other party likely wants their privacy) and they end up going first (even though I always am willing to use escrow). After we agreed on the price of his account, he says that I can either go first or we can use escrow (this is a pretty unusual request for me to receive, although I have seen this request many times on various marketplaces threads); I tell him that we can use escrow if he does not want to go first, then some time later I receive a PM from him to myself and raganius asking raganius to provide escrow services for us. Having never heard of this person before I look at both his escrow thread and trust rating, seeing that he has zero (even untrusted) trust provided him I tell CripLib that if he wants to use escrow he will need to find someone that has more trust. In response he says that he will wait for his account to become a senior account (he is ~80 activity away from being a senior).

I find this highly suspicious and as a result do not trust either of them. I would advise to proceed with extreme caution when dealing with raganius
