Why would you ever send first to anyone?

Let alone some newbie on this forum that have no previous trades, no nothing?

Did you at least send via goods and services? Because otherwise i'm pretty sure you can only be disputing friends and family if the transaction was fraudulent - which it isn't in your case of course.

Please open a scam accusation in this board with the correct format: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 so that he can get negged repped by DT members and nobody else gets scammed.
