Here in Florida it can take a month to receive title after registration, etc. The problem today is titles can be phony, checks bad etc, it is very hard to trust anyone, damn what has become of this world oh it has always been this way.
Actually, that is the way most of these scammers get away with the money. they send you a link to an escrow service. It looks totally legit! But in fact you are sending the scammer the money for the sale. It never sees an escrow account.

If an escrow is the only way... YOU set up the entire deal with a known escrow provider!
