COMPLETE ESCROW AND SHIPPING SERVICE
Usually we take part at the selling process by offering our complete escrow and shipping services. We are not just a regular escrow service, we have the infrastructure to conduct authorized pre-buy inspection on all type of vehicles.
There are a few situations that we currently handle:
- the seller and the buyer have already agreed and discussed regarding the transaction and they want to use our escrow (with vehicle inspection) and shipping services; the funds are transferred to the escrow account but the seller will be paid at the end of the transaction;
- you are a seller/buyer and you want to sell/buy a vehicle; after analyzing your case we will present our offer; usually the transaction takes place like in the case above;
- there are cases (in which the offer is too good) when we buy a vehicle directly from the seller; in this case the seller is paid the same day.
..and we all know there is nothing in real life as a shipping and escrow company.......
The seller informs Buyer about the transaction details.
Seller and Buyer agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the merchandise, sale price (deposit to be made before the start of the delivery), number of days for the Buyer's inspection and any shipping information.
2
We check the car and documents.
We conduct a full pre-buy inspection of the vehicle at one of our partner service. Both Buyer and Seller are informed about the inspection result.
3
Buyer deposits the funds to our secured non-interest bearing trust account.
If the vehicle is accepted by the Buyer, then the Buyer must send the funds to our secured non-interest bearing trust account. Upon payment verification our company ships the car to the Buyer in 3-5 days.
4
Buyer must inspect and confirm if the vehicle corresponds.
The Buyer receives the vehicle and has 5 days to inspect the car and to take a final decision on the purchase.
5
Our company pays the Seller and the transaction is closed.
If the Buyer accepts the vehicle, the Seller will be paid. Our company will send the payment to the Seller using the method which he selected.

Frequently asked questions
Q. How far in advance do I need to schedule my vehicle pickup?
A. The more notice in advance we have, the better. Since our auto and AIR transport pick up and deliver vehicles all over the world, we can better schedule your vehicle pickup with advance notice. If your are leaving the area, be sure to plan enough time in advance for your vehicle to be picked up before you go. If for some reason this cannot be done, you must make arrangements to have a third party, such as a relative, friend or neighbour, release the vehicle on to the truck for you. They will have to sign for you, as well, in order to release the vehicle.
Q. Will you pick up and deliver my vehicle door-to-door?
A. We do offer door-to-door auto transport service. However, there are instances that we cannot deliver directly to your door due to the size of our auto carriers. The size of your street may prohibit direct delivery to your door. Also, some towns and cities do not allow trucks on their streets. If we cannot get to your door, we will deliver your vehicle to the next most convenient, accessible location such as the nearest major crossing street, a shopping mall or supermarket.
Q. How long will it take to pickup and deliver my vehicle?
A. Coast-to-coast trips usually take between 10 and 14 days. Shorter trips range from 3 to 10 days, depending on the actual distance. Some factors may delay a trip, including traffic, weather, and truck breakdowns.
Q. Can I ship personal items in my vehicle?
A. We prefer that no personal items be placed in your vehicle when it is being shipped. Personal items may cause damage to the vehicle and we are not responsible for any damages that may be caused.
Q. What happens if I cannot be reached at delivery time?
A. You must make arrangements to have a third party, such as a relative, friend or neighbour, release the vehicle on to the truck for you. They will have to sign for you, as well, in order to release the vehicle.
Q. What if I cancel my order?
A. You may cancel your order at any time as long as your vehicle has not been assigned to a truck for pick up. Any deposit that has been paid will be refunded, less a $35 administration fee if you paid. If your vehicle has already been assigned to a carrier, the deposit is non-refundable. That money will be used to pay for the truck that is already in route to your pick up location.
Q. Is my car insured?
A. Your car is insured the entire time it is on the truck. Clearly listed on your Shipping Order and Bill of Lading are occurrences not covered. At the time of pick-up, a condition report is filled out and signed by both the person turning the car over and the truck driver, and you are given a copy. Upon delivery of your vehicle, this same report is presented. You should compare the condition of the vehicle to the report thoroughly at that time. If you feel damage has occurred to your vehicle during delivery, you must note it on the report before you sign it and the driver leaves. Any claims made after the report has been signed will not be honored.
These are the most frequently asked questions that we answer for people. If we have not covered all of your questions or concerns, please call or email us and we will be happy to assist you.

Accurate-Corp.com Fraud Targets eBay Sellers
http://www.accurate-corp.com/ FAKE FRAUD SCAM
Same scammer running:
http://www.associates-corp.com/
Posted here:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2011/06/associates-corpcom-fake-escrow.html
Accurate-Corp.com aka Accurate Escrow Inc. is a fake escrow site targeting eBay jewelry scammers.
http://whois.domaintools.com/accurate-corp.com
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:
Delia Allsop allsopgree@hotmail.com
The fake escrow company claims to be located at:
11445 SOUTH PARAMOUNT BOULEVARD, SUITE B & C
DOWNEY, CA 90241 USA
Phone: 1-801-409-5705
33178402827
support@Accurate-Corp.com
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.

Here are some images of the scam site:
Here is text from the scam site:
You have made a deal with someone who lives thousands of miles away. If you are the Buyer, you can't be sure that you will receive the item you have agreed to purchase and the Seller can't be sure he or she won't receive a bad cheque. We make sure that the cheque has cleared before instructing the Seller to ship the item. Both Buyer and Seller are protected.
Let Us Introduce Ourselves
Accurate Escrow Inc. is an independent escrow company based in California.
We were born out of the ever increasing need for fast, reliable transactions which would also not exclude the one value that the Internet Community cherishes most: privacy.
