would you trust someone asking to pay in a domain name through crypto??

Usually goes this way: Flippa (check) -> Telegram/Whatsapp (check) -> Some fake crypto escrow site
Just because they wanted to pay in bitcoin doesn't make it a scam. DAN.com does accept bitcoin, but in most cases I don't believe it is an option until they submit verification docs (had this happen with a potential buyer myself). I thought it was an automatic option too but it wasn't until they asked for it, and I believe only once they are KYC'd will it open up as a payment option. Once you put more hurdles like that in the way (really more verifying for that than with fiat) then it delays deals and gives them a chance to second guess. Either way though, if they are legitimate and their interest is strong enough, all that shouldn't be a total deal breaker.
I was wondering how many of us on here use crypto, I will pay and accept payment via coinbase as all verified accounts totally know who it is you are dealing with. (If that helps any)...
