Chancer
He's a real chancer. I wouldn't even lend him a cent. He always says he'll do something & he doesn't.
chancer n. Quite literally, a "chancer" is someone who is a bit of a taker of chances - generally those that involve things on the greyer side of society. "Chancers" are the sorts of people who buy random domain names in the hope someone will offer them a pile of money for them, or put all their money on the rank outsider in the 12:45 at Chepstow.

Example sentence:
I'd just replace it and send a replacement via Recorded Signed For and move on. It's not exactly going to break the bank, is it?
