Ok, so I haven't worked at all in about 5 days (I haven't been well), but had my Skype set to do not disturb for most of that time. I sign back in earlier today and set it to "away" until I was ready to actually do a show, then set it to online which is what I always do, if I am ready to immediately do a show, my status shows online, if it shows away, it means I am in a show, or at home about to get ready and telling guys I am booked just so I look busy until I am actually ready.
Anyways, this guy messages me, he says he booked a show before Christmas and had to go right after because something came up, he asks me if I can do the show for him now. Nope. But just to be sure, I look in our chat history, and there is pretty much no history over Skype, I start to think, well maybe my mind just slipped and this was a deal we made over Yahoo, he paid and told me there, I verified and maybe don't remember our Yahoo convo, then maybe we exchanged Skypes, and that could be when he suddenly had to go. Not the deal. Of course I asked where he paid for a show. This idiot says PAYPAL! Haha. I knew I had busted him then, I have never taken Paypal.
Is this a new breed of freeloaders? Because this is a first for me.
