"If you get scammed online using the traditional payment method (like a credit card), you have a fair amount of protection provided to you by your bank. If you pay for something that doesn't arrive (or is significantly different from how it was described), then you can call your credit card company and get the transaction reversed. However, due to the nature of the blockchain and the decentralized principles of Bitcoin, when something goes wrong with the Bitcoin transaction- there is no one to call. Bitcoin transactions are 100% irreversible. Once the money has left your wallet and ends up in the wallet of the scammer, it's gone forever. By using an escrow service, the scales are kept in the buyer's favor. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and become a non- issue because the recipient won't get your money unless you are satisfied."
