Escort scam

Partner received a message last night on whatsapp from an escort site saying he owed money due to booking an escort and wasting her time by not turning up. He denies this, obviously.
A Google search shows up that this is a common scam, however, most of what I've read says the scammers pose as escorts and target those who try to book them.
Partner obviously denies this too.
I don't believe him. I believe it's a scam as it's almost word for word what I've just read on Google, but I believe he must have at least enquired to be targeted.

Any experience with this? What would you believe?

Dhs name can be used for a male or female. Mine is a very similar one but more of a female name.
I received a scam message to say I'd booked a female escort.
The message was to my name. I asked for proof and bang I was blocked.

It's a scam

If he’s replied and they’ve blocked him then it sounds like a scam.
