What happened: I would strongly advise against accepting escrow through BTCrow.com without double checking the transaction ID (not to be confused with a Bitcoin TxID). What's happening is this scammer is going around spoofing BTCrow.com e-mails making it appear that they came from noreply@btcrow.com in an attempt to get you to fund an escrow address that belongs to the scammer.

In this case the e-mail listed was ellenloyar@gmail.com, which has been used in this sort of scam attempt before. When pressed about the invalid transaction ID, he wanted me to send him a paper wallet as "proof" of funds as his backup scam attempt (don't do this if you find yourself in this situation). Of course he wouldn't accept a signed address.
