I was about to send you a PM to warn you about this when I realized you were one of the potential targets of the scammer. Anyway, glad you didn't fall it and noticed the phishing link.
Here are more details about how he was going to carry out this scam:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379685.msg58911194#msg58911194

The reason why he insisted to use minerjones as escrow is because he's already created a fake page with what looks like a message from him (minerjones).

Exact same spinbot phishing thing happened to shasan few days ago, but he received message from different member.
It is possible this accounts are all hacked and/or part of some bigger farm, so I a sending them New Year red feedback gifts.

This profile has been auto banned. So, now creating scam accusation wont make anything unless to make awareness of the community. I have received same type of message on 3rd January (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379685) and the profile of the send also been banned. They are just trying to send message from their old account either that is from their own account or hacked account.

I have just seen that link is same so those accounts are operating by the same person.
