he said he needed FE else he would not send
Then you should have gone elsewhere mate, the fewer people who support vendors who insist on FE the better.
If you FE you assume all the risk, that is YOUR decision and no one elses. No one makes you FE, if you do it then own your decision and do not blame others for the choices you make.
The FE debate will go on forever, it will not be 'banned' as FE isn't the problem, it is the buyers problem. Know the risks and act accordingly.
I FE for one vendor, I take full responsibility for my actions and if anything ever were to go wrong I would not be crying about it on the forums, I take responsibility for my own decisions.
This may sound a bit harsh to those who may have just been scammed but there is no way of dressing this up and people need to wise up on this issue because quite frankly I am fed up reading about scams where hoards of people have been drawn into FE and then losing their coins.
Simple solution, DO NOT FE.
