Yes, you got owned by some criminals. 

But cryptsetup is exceedingly unlikely to have anything to do 
with this, as it runs only on Linux and you seem to be on

Sorry, we cannot help you.

The common wisdom with these types of people are though that most
seem to be taking the money but will not provide any decryption
key.

Side note to others here: This seems genuine if rather clueless. 
At least virustotal did not find anything in the jpegs.
