I like this piece, it shouldn't be released until your cash is confirmed, because your coins would possibly never be returned and the buyer may cut off all communications when the coins have been released.
I'm thinking the guy didn't send the cash initially, until he saw your resistance to pressure and he went back and did the actual transfer of funds. Fraud is everywhere and we need every ounce of caution.
Well done once again and thanks for sharing
Some people do end up releasing the coin even before they receive money, due to the pressure they receive from the buyer to release the coin. Whenever I notice that a buyer is pressurizing me to release the coin, I always think something is wrong. A real merchant won't disturb you if you tell them you haven't received an alert. Most of them have been in the business for a long time, and they know how frustrating bank networks are sometimes, so if I tell them you haven't received an alert, they will tell you to give it time if you are going to receive it.

Mostly, I notice that newbies are the ones that are mostly scammed, some merchant won't even send the money, they will claim that the money have been sent, and they will start pressuring the seller to release the coin. Since the seller is a newbie and might be scared if he does not release the coin, he might be reported and his account might be compromised. The seller might just end up releasing the coin, hoping it's bank network and money will be receive later, and immediately after the coin has been released, there is nothing that can be done about that again. Scammers are always using this strategy to scam people using P2P, and they are always targeting newbies that can easily be threatened.
