The only thing that remains then is (a) Check the Blockchain, which I asked for help with, if it is safe and (2) Ask him to verify that he sent the BTC by a screengrab of his Outgoing transaction.
a "picture" is not going to prove anything. you have to ask him to send the "transaction ID" of the transaction he claims he has sent to you. it is going to be in hexadecimal format with 64 characters. you can then check if you can see that ID in your wallet (history tab) or not. you can also search it in a block explorer. and it would look something like this (a random example i chose from the recent blocks):

3) the corresponding amount of bitcoin that went to each address which must be the same amount that you expected
