Probably best to draw up a contract to make sure you're covered, and that the client is aware of your intentions.
Unless you're programming some super clever algorithm I don't see why keep the source code to yourself. What is the reasoning behind giving only the binary?
It's not me, a friend of mine asked if this is a fair way to make a client pay less than it should. I don't know the real intention tho it makes sense to me.
Sounds like they're trying to be cheap already. At least make sure you have a clause that future updates and maintenance costs aren't included. Otherwise they will try to get free updates.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
