Just a quick guess on my part... but judging from minerjones' response (what little we are allowed to see) it seems that he never received funds as he's asking if the scammer controlled your wallet as well.
My guess is that the seller pulled a Man-In-The-Middle attack and convinced the buyer to send funds to him while thinking he was sending funds to minerjones. Again, just a guess since not enough information is provided in the messages, but the first thing I would do is check where you got the Bitcoin address to send the funds to escrow. My again random quick guess of the situation is that you didn't get the address from minerjones.
The scammer did not controlled my XMR wallet, because I sent about 200 XMR to escrow address from my CEX account, which is secure and protected by Google Authenticator.
The escrow address is from the massage that escrow-man sent to me on August 28. Here is the massage:
Hello-
Happy to assist for the transaction.
Amount: 196 XMR
Donation: 1.96 XMR
Total to send: 197.96 XMR
Address: 45gtrfipMYeYZ9ZRRLN4XKG5q2tiT7HUdSvqn5LUs5V3WmHSnQYHpF6ReaY1U2uGJfMo6QpP5zmS1gT hEASRcHdx3KZkDK6
Once funds have been sent and confirmed, please use "reply to all" to let us know the txid of the payment.
After this, items can be shipped to the buyer.
When buyer receives items in good standing and reports back, I can release funds to the seller.
Thank you,
minerjones
