Attempted Bank Transfer Scam

Leeds. Requests an outcall to a B+B in Roundhay. Claims to be early 30s white/British but I've never met him so no way to verify this. Appears Very genuine (at first contact) Apologies for the rant...

He made a booking for an hour outcall last week. Literally just as I was about to set off and had replied to his confirmation text he asks me to confirm my rate for the hour outcall. I did so and he replied "Shit. I've only got £60"
I was furious. I should have confirmed the fee when first arranging the booking but he came across as very genuine, he had clearly read my profile. I cancelled and he was asking me to go to him saying he would pay my uber both ways and give me £60 and a coin (some sort of collectors thing he claims is worth £130, which also happens to be the exact amount I charge for an hour) I declined. He then asks is he can come to me for an incall. I can't do my eyelash extension business due to covid so financially things are a bit shit atm, also I'd turned down another booking earlier when I thought that he was genuine, and he had £60 which is a tenner less than my half hour incall rate so I thought sod it, I'll do a 30 min incall for a tenner less and then at least I'm not totally put of pocket. I agreed to the incall and he says "It's for an hour right? Half an hour isn't long enough for me babe" at this point I lost it, put my phone on silent and called it a night.
One week later he's back asking for a 2 hour outcall, apologies for last week and says he's been paid so now has the full fee. I told him that the only way I'll see him is if he pays me a small deposit upfront via bank transfer to prove that he's not messing about. He asks for bank details then texts me saying "sent £200, see you at 2am " I replied letting him know that I'm currently busy but will check my account and confirm his payment in half an hour when Im next available. He then says that he has made the payment from a Spanish bank account which can take a little longer, but the payment will be in my account by 9am tomorrow morning latest. I have a Spanish regular, asked him and he said that what he was saying just didn't add up. Asked for proof of payment, says he can't send a screenshot of the transaction because he did it on his work laptop. Can't take a picture on his phone of his laptop screen because he's not allowed his phone out at work. Just bullshit after bullshit, however he is adamant that he has sent payment and wants me to come and see him, apparently I won't be out of pocket as he will pay me taxi both ways.
Very obviously a scammed who has no intention of paying. However I've been doing this job for 13 years and I thought he was genuine right up until he started messing about; there were no warning signs or red flags whatsoever, however as soon as he started messing about it was blatantly obvious.
They tried to bury us.
They didn't know we were seeds.
