Probably his camera.  Get it back and try it on your camera if as you say it worked on it. If it doesn't work on your camera it is a throw away.  This lens is not Canon's best effort.  I had a couple of them I let second shooters do candids with them on Rebels.

BTW, that lens has a big brother the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens.  It is a pretty nice, inexpensive, lens.  Although it is a bit long on the tooth now.  Used several of them in the past.

BTW, you can clean the contacts all you want but that won't help or fix it.
