Has any heard of rawshipping.com?

I would ask for documentation. I cannot find any firm named Raw Shipping using several internet search engines.

If you meant Re Shipping, there is a scam that ask for money and burns you for the merchandise. Go to Google and type in Re Shipping for more info.

I am not saying this is what you are up against, just to exercise caution and do a bit of research.

Assuming you have the name right in this thread, I cannot imagine this company exists without ANY SIGN of internet presence while supposedly operating in Europe.

sounds bad real bad,i avoid escro like the plague.

This is -not- a good idea. There are fradulent escrow sights out there, and to be honest, this looks like one of them. Look at their "how it works" section. It's simplistic and grammatically incorrect. I know that doesn't seem significant, but it's one of the biggest warning signs for fradulence. That's what all the consumer protection organizations say. Escrow.com is the only escrow site you should use, period.

What Albertporter said. Doubled. Google "reshipping" for your first eyeopening scare. Then Google Rawshipping.com or just rawshipping and be extra concerned - 'cause there's nothing there. Then peruse the www.rawshipping.com site and be at least sceptical. If they really are in the UK, be even more sceptical. Read the FAQ and stuff like that, and then look closely at the bottom of the page - the copyright is by United Shippers. Google United Shippers and come up with United Shippers, Mumbai.

None of that means it is a scam. But if they really are in the UK and they really are real I would have expected something a bit different.

And for the real kicker (at least to me) - if you click on the "register" link there's a testimonial under ATV by a "Tom Boal, Huntsville ON". Google that phrase and you might find the first response from boatsforsale.org (in Toronto). The second link from Google was for "www.transathlantics.com/thrd_register.php" - and it's practically the same register page as at RawShipping. Heck - the whole transathlantics.com site looks just like RawShipping w/ a different name. Curious, at best.

If it was just me - I'd run away from this as fast as possible. It just doesn't pass my litmus test and I work hard enough for my money to risk even $.02 with something like Rawshipping.
