chantellion.com SCAM Targets eBay Sellers

http://www.chantellion.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

chantellion.com is a fake escrow site targeting eBay sellers of jewelry and watches.

Are you stupid enough to send a valuable item overseas to a total stranger who only says they paid a fake escrow site they are running?
Will you mark that multi-thousand dollar piece of jewelry or watch on the customs form as a gift worth almost nothing?
Report the buyer to eBay.
Send me details so I can post them to help others.

Important: Only use Escrow.com.
Using Escrow.com can help keep buyers and sellers safe from fraud.

Once both parties are satisfied, Escrow.com sends the payment to the seller. Escrow.com is licensed and regulated company, and the only escrow service that can be used for eBay transactions.
Escrow is available for any purchase, but typically is used for purchases of $500 or more.
