I was contacted by a buyer to buy on of my domains.
We chose escrow.com as an escrow service.
The buyer agreed to the terms on escrow.com and also wired the money already to escrow.com
Now I sent him the authorization code so that he can start transfering the domain to his registrar.
I am asking myself, however, what if he would give the auth code to a friend who would then register the domain on his own name instead of the buyer's name. The buyer would then tell escrow.com that he tried registering the domain himself but it already belonged to someone else (his scammer friend) and therefore was not possible. Escrow.com would then look into whois record and find that indeed it has been transferred to someone else and could refund the buyer (also he indirectly has the domain now) and I could not proof that I sent the auth code ONLY to the buyer as there are million ways i could have sent it also to million other people.
Or did I get something wrong?
