BEWARE!!!!!

Beware. This is a fraudulent website designed to scam unsuspecting Craigslist shoppers out of money. It posts fake Craigslist postings designed from legitimate Craiglist postings to lure potential buyers into inquiring about purchasing the item. Posing as a seller the website owner (who is as much of a thief as someone who picks your pocket) will tell the buyer that the listing transaction is being completed through AST (Alco Safe Transactions). The individual will obligingly explain the process in which Alco Safe Transactions will accept payment from the seller into an escrow account at a bank. It will always be a foreign bank (eg. Barclays Bank in United Kingdom) and it will always require an international wire transfer of the money, which cannot be reversed. The buyer will be told that that a foreign bank must be utilized because no domestic bank accounts are available for use. Subsequent to completion of the wire transfer emails to both Alco Safe Transactions and the seller will go unanswered. You are simply left with a smaller bank account. There is no corporate headquarters. The 1437 West 190th Street, Gardena, CA address is a Public Storage (PS) facility and the 1411 West 190th Street, Gardena, CA address is a Toyota Plaza facility. The webpage “About Us” was copied from the Postal Connections webpage “About Us.” The photos and bios are the same. The names have been changed. This can be verified by going to the Postal Connections website. The scammer has a previous website eznettransactions.com which was also designed to defraud potential buyers. DO NOT let the sophistication of the website and its links fool you. It is a fraudulent site.
