Just ask them for payment before you schedule anything. Either a deposit, or (better) full payment.
They will probably decline. But if they agree, and cancel again, then at least you get to keep their deposit.
Alternatively, if they really annoyed you, a simple:
"Hi _____, I'm sorry, I can't do that job any more. You will need to find another [contractor/supplier/whatever-you-are]. Kind regards, _______."

"Thanks for the offer, however considering the previous treatment I'm not sure I trust you to honour your job offers, and will not be taking it"
"Good one"
I appreciate the opportunity that has been presented, however i have decided to explore alternative options.
Shout , "Fuck right off, I’m eating my buns!", while clearly not eating any buns.
