Chinese domain offered for sale!! Very suspicious

[loopylu03]

We have been approached by a company offering us a chinese domain we would like to own, they are based in China but provide no company information and only their escrow account for us to transfer the funds.  My first reaction is to run a mile but we have been asked to see if we can secure it from these people any urgent advice would be greatly appreciated as we have never done a transaction like this as the overseas domains are a new venture for us.  Any guidance really appreciated.

So is it an escrow account or one of their accounts?

Yes I have now verified that the account is through Escrow and typed in the domain myself and not used the link within the e-mail. So it looks like it is an above board sale but I am still not sure re the transfer process I suspect we need to arrange hosting I have asked to see the certificate of domain registration that you would normally receive when purchasing but looking up the domain itself under who is hasnt really shed any light.
