It's definitely true! It is currently happening to me. I paid Paddy a 25% deposit for a hook up and more than a year later, he still hasn't honoured our agreement. Every time we agreed a date to meet (12 separate occasions now), he cancels it and gives an excuse. He takes ages to reply to my messages. I am always chasing him for a response and he leaves it really late to reply and he then cancels at the last minute. I haven't asked for my money back as I know that wouldn't happen. He also keeps giving me the impression he will meet me so I am playing the game of patience. Or maybe I'm just gullible.
