The victims are being instructed to send valuable items via FEDEX to:
Calle de Campezo Nr 4
MADRID
28022
SPAIN
The scammer is using this name and email address:

If you look closely at the page containing the guide:
http://www.accurate-corp.com/guide.php
you'll notice that the scammer neglected to update the page from his previous fraud escrow site:
"We would like to remind the Seller that the expenses of sending and receiving the money will be charged to the consignee. For information on bank's charges please send us a mail to support@Premiere-Corp.com"

Here is some data from a victim:

Hi

Unfortunately I have just found your site but thought you would like my details to add to your list!!!
In hindsight, like everyone, I am sure one feels a right idiot to have been taken in but at the time they have everything so tightly covered that it appears okay.

This is my record of events:

1.  Received initial interest from ebay member potterychef1 who has a listing of 416 with excellent references from people, albeit as a buyer or a seller.  As I was unable to send him an email which was, allsoppgreen @ gmail.com he suggested I send further pictures of the watch to his other e-mail allsoppgree@hotmailcom, which turned out to be as I thought, his mother in Madrid, Spain.  We carried on with interesting e-mails back and forth until she made an offer of £6,000 plus escrow service and shipping.  She suggested the service of Accurate-corp.com which always came up with Accurate Escrow Inc.  I registered and was given a transaction no., whereby she paid the money into them and it was showing with "waiting confirmation from buyer".

2.  Being slightly apprehensive I checked their license and everything seemed above board.  I therefore shipped the watch out to:  Delia Allsopp, Calle de Campezo Nr.4, Madrid, Spain, 28022 by FedEx at my cost.  At first FedEx said it was undeliverable as the address was wrong but they mistook the 4 for an H.  They then delivered it again but it was signed for by a SVicente at Campezo Nr. 3.  When we went mad about getting it signed for by the wrong person and at the wrong address they have since come back and said that it was a hotel and that the receptionist had signed for it.

3.  At the moment we are claiming from FedEx for misdelivery as I also had paid extra for insurance.

I have written this in the hope that it may help someone else. Although I see by your list that there are many of us that have fallen for this type of scam.

In the scheme of things - we are not in Japan where the loss is far greater.

What is Escrow?
An escrow agent is an independent trusted third party, which holds funds on behalf of parties entering into a transaction to ensure that such funds are only released when
certain conditions are satisfied: such as the satisfactory delivery of goods or services or certain conditions are satisfied on the sale of a business or company.
Many people will have used an escrow arrangement when purchasing a home. It is common in many U.S states for a real estate escrow agent (or sometimes an attorney)
to hold the home buyer's purchase funds on escrow for a short period of time on or around the transaction completion date, until the buyer confirms that their final physical
inspection of the house has not unearthed any new problems. At this point, the escrow agent releases the purchase funds to the seller. If the buyer does find any new
problems, the escrow agent will continue to hold the funds until the matter is resolved. Both transaction counterparties therefore gain the comfort of knowing that the funds
will continue to be held by an independent third party until any dispute is resolved.
Escrow arrangements are also frequently used in a variety of commercial transactions to protect each transaction party against default by another transaction party. The
need for a trusted independent escrow agent often becomes paramount when parties are located in different jurisdictions, have little or no history of prior commercial
dealings, and/or the terms of the commercial transaction call for payments to be released gradually from the payer to the payee over time or only on satisfaction of certain
pre-agreed conditions.
Business or Company acquisitions in which the purchaser may want their initial 'good faith deposit' held on escrow by an independent third party pending acceptance (or
rejection) of their offer and completion of their due diligence, or after transaction closing the purchaser and seller have agreed that a portion of the purchase proceeds will
be held back on escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions (for example that there has been no breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty in the
purchase agreement or certain post-completion financial targets for the business agreed by the parties have been met).
Major asset or equipment purchases in which the purchaser wants to physically inspect the equipment or asset before releasing all or part of the purchase funds, but is
not in a position to make such physical inspection at closing of the transaction (for example because the supplier is located in another country).
Trade purchases of goods or services in which the supplier of goods or services and the purchaser are located in different countries or states and/or have no prior
history of transacting with (or even meeting with) one another. The supplier may for example require payment in full into an escrow account before shipping the goods or
payment of a goodwill deposit into an escrow account before starting to provide services to the purchaser.
The Western Union Co. and USL are planning to expand their cooperation to introduce money-transfer services as well as strengthen business operations to foreign
customers. This MOU with Western Union strengthens our partnership, which started in North America over 18 years ago.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest, sorry for my late answer, I still have it for sale, due to my work I'm out of state so my home number is disconnected. for the moment I would like to keep the conversation here. I would also like to know if you're still interested, if you have your own funds or need a loan and if you can pick up in San Francisco, CA. In case you need the VIN or see more pics of it let me know and I'll send in the next message. I'm waiting your answer.
Thanks,
Linda

Hi, due to my work, I'm architect I am out of state and for the moment I would like to keep the onversation here , I hope you don't mind. More pics of it are attached, the price I will sell it is $60,000 including any shipping costs if you need, is not negotiable. I would like to buy something else...a Mercedes Benz I guess, simply don't like it, too rigid for a woman. The VIN is : ZAMHJ45A490047596 . I am sorry but I do not have a Carfax report. After the bad experience that I was into when someone asked me to go back home as he will come with a cashier check..well..has not appeared and also stopped responding to phone or email, I just decide to pay 2% of the sale amount to the company who inspected the car already, SGS. What I mean is, you will send the money to them , they let me know that they have the payment, I come back home, meet you, give you the car and sign the title, deal done, safe for both. In case you decide to not complete the deal, your payment will be fully refunded but I will lose the 2% fees, I will lose time , money for my trip...So I hope you understand, I'm not crazy enough to say that it is in perfect condition and is not. Let me know if you accept this my proposal.
Thanks, Linda

Here is a rather humorous thread about that:

We would like to let you know that due to our work we're in Phoenix, AZ. Car is garaged in Virginia Beach. We went through a bad experience almost 3 weeks ago when someone asked my husband to be back home as he will come and buy it, well, Frank went for complete the deal but the buyer never showed up and he stopped answering to his phone or email. We ordered also an SGS inspection when Frank was in Virginia Beach, a team from SGS made the inspection at our home address, we have a report if you want to see it. My husband talked with the SGS team and told them about that non-buyer and they advise Frank that in the future, if he want a safe deal and be sure that it will be completed to pay their required fees , 2% of the sale amount , and the SGS company will can handle the payment, what I mean is we will set up a transaction with them, as the car has already been inspected by them, they will shortly approve it. The next step, the buyer will pay the money to them, as soon we will have their payment confirmation , Frank will come back to VA and will meet you in order to complete the deal. SGS will hold your money until you will confirm to them that you met the seller and you picked up the car, after you will confirm them that everything went fine and you're satisfied with the car and the titled has been successfully transferred under your name, they will send us the funds. If all this is ok for you and you agree with our proposal we can move forward, just let us know and my husband will call you for further details. Thank you

Here is some text from the fake site:

Is it safe to buy a car online? It is with SGStransactions.com
SGStransactions.com is a secure and licensed partner for your auto purchase. Whether you are buying or selling a vehicle, SGStransactions.com protects you with a simple 4 step process both ways, when the Buyer pick up or when the vehicle is shipped.
Once the Buyer or the Seller starts the process we oversee the transfer of the money and delivery of the vehicle. No matter where the vehicle sale originates (online classified ad, internet auto auction, vehicle sales website, etc.) SGStransactions.com can ensure a safe transaction.
A transaction will be approved ONLY after vehicle will be or has been inspected by our inspection team.


How Does Our Service Work?
Both Buyers and Sellers benefit from using SGStransactions.com, a neutral third party, to monitor and transact the exchange of the money and vehicle. The Buyer sends the money to SGStransactions.com, and then we alert the Seller to send the vehicle to the Buyer or meet the buyer at the address where vehicle is located. This gives the Seller peace of mind, the Seller does not ship the vehicle or does not meet the Buyer until the full payment is verified, so he is protected from fraudulent checks and money order scams. We do not release the money to the Seller until the vehicle has been received or picked up and approved by the Buyer. This provides online car buyers the same security that off-line car buyers have, the Buyer reviews the vehicle before the money is sent by SGStransactions.com to the Seller. The cost of our secure out service is very low (2% of the sale amount), and can ONLY be paid by the Seller. If in a case the Buyer or the Seller, due to any reason decide not to complete the transaction the Buyer's payment will be fully refunded, the Seller will lose the 2% (our required fees).
