1. I am looking to buy a vehicle from the UK and need to know if the
following company is real or if it is a scam. I need to know whether
the escrow service www.secureonlinedeals.com is legitimate. I also
want to know the business phone number.

2. If the business is not legitimate, who would you reccomend?

Dear Skevin, 

First of all, secureonlinedeals.com doesn't seem to be too legit: it
has limited registration (will expire in less than a year), gives a
lacking address for its business, which turns out to be the address of
a travel agent.

You might want to use escrow.com instead:

If you decide to look for another service, read the following:
