Escrow
Escrow is related to financial transactions. When there
are two parties in process of a transaction, there is a
third party (neutral) that holds the 'escrow money'.
This action is done to ensure that a transaction
payment will be made to a seller on completion of
items sent to a buyer. Until the buyer declares the
seller has met the terms of purchase, the money will
be held 'in escrow'.
Purchasing with a stolen credit
card is risky, so threat actors
need a person who will receive
the products. That person is the
dropper.
