Exactly. It goes both ways. Or if the domain owner (fraudster in this case) changes the whois/pushes to another registrar he controls with details reflecting the intended buyer, and then hammers escrow.com over the phone saying the deal is done, and that he/she should receive the money. Then of course escrow.com has to contact the buyer and ask why hasn't he clicked the link as they've been informed the deal is done. And it just becomes a fight from there. As I said, that is something you REALLY don't want to be dealing with on a big purchase. And it is completely avoidable - use a real escrow service.
