MoneyBookers Escrow?!?

1) so has annyone used this escrow before? this is from the UK yet i believe they have agents in the US. any comments on this MoneyBooker Escrow?

2) has anyone dealt with purchasing something from someone using MoneyGram? depositing cash, not bank accounts.

apparently MoneyBooker Escrows is a third party that holds the funds till the transaction completes.

In this case the seller decides to use moneygram as our payment process. the buyer gives his/her info (name, address) as the sender and gives the seller his/her info (name, address) as the receiver and when i make the deposit, i give the transaction receipt number to this Escrow. The Escrow tells me that they will give the transaction receipt number to the seller once ive received the item but MoneyGram told me that the receiver can just goto a MoneyGram location with his/her I.D and the exact amount that was wired and cash out without the transaction receipt number... Now im not sure how this Escrow comes into play.

i have a physical address on the seller from which the Escrow gave me when i opened up this account with them. mapquested it and got an intersection as a destination. (maybe its the corner house?)
does this sound like a scam?
