This seems highly suspect on BTCRows part.  Are you saying you just send money to an address without ever sending an email to the person to verify the address is correct or their address to begin with?  

How do we know BTCrow isn't directing funds to their own addresses?

This is exactly their protocol. Absolute nonsense. BTCrow, I created this topic and alerted you so that you may help others...care to do so?

In each transaction the user sets and confirms the payment address when confirming the transaction and email, at the beginning of each transaction.  When the payment is released is sent to that address without further confirmations because it was confirmed at the beginning.

Many users use our platform every month, even with larger transactions and is the first time something like this happens. I do not know if it is an error copying the wrong address or you have been the victim of some kind of scam but we have only done our part and paid to the address listed on the transaction.

1 time is one too many. Your attitude seems very nonchalant about the whole matter.

You don't seem to be offering up any information as to what could have possibly happened.  If he initiated the escrow and entered in his address, it should have been locked in correct?  Can the receiving address be changed at any point by a malicious party?  Or once an address is placed in, it can't be changed?

I would like to hear what kind of scam would allow an escrow transaction already in motion, to be redirected to a new address?

Also you don't send an email confirming the address used in the escrow once initiated?  That doesn't make sense.  When a user initiates the escrow an email should be sent stating their correct deposit address. If not, how can we verify you aren't selectively scamming people?
