TO TRAP RAT ACTING ‘SINGLE’ ONLINE I posed as sexy young woman on dating site to catch out my cheating toyboy

Anna,” she said. “I hoped when she approached him he’d explain he was in a relationship. But all of my worst fears were confirmed. He said he was single and told Anna he was looking for a girlfriend. I felt a bit sick but I had to keep my cool.”

Julie spent days talking to Przybylski on the site without letting her mask slip.

Horrible

She said: “I saw him nearly every day and he acted like nothing was wrong. The most horrible moment was when the online chat turned to sex and he told Anna he’d slept with a friend the week before.

“I wasn’t sure if he meant I was just a friend or if he’d cheated on me with yet another person. I’m still not sure. I was gutted but even more determined to catch him out.” Przybylski and Anna arranged to meet on a Friday night. Julie said: “I told him the drinks were on me as I knew it was just two days before his payday.

“He couldn’t believe his luck. Soon he was making plans to take Anna back to his after their date and discussing contraception.

“It hurt but it made me realise I had to expose his lies.” On the night of his meeting with Anna, Julie offered to pick him up from work to see if he’d lose his nerve.

She said: “He told me he needed an early night. My heart sank – he really was going to meet her.” Julie went to the bar and waited, phone at the ready. She said: “I saw him walking to the pub so I pressed record and ran after him. “He was stunned to see me there and at first pretended he didn’t know who Anna was. “He claimed he was on his way to the Polish deli but it was already shut. “Soon there wasn’t much left he could say. “He told me he didn’t love me but he hadn’t wanted to hurt me. I stormed off to a friend’s.” It took bungling Przybylski hours to realise Julie was Anna. After Julie left, he sent a message to Anna’s account, asking where she was.

Julie said: “My friend and I had to laugh when he sent the message to Anna. He hadn’t twigged. When he worked it out he phoned me and was really angry.”

She said Przybylski gave her the silent treatment for a week then begged her for another chance. “He sent me flowers for a few months but I could never trust him again. I’ve cut him out of my life.”

Przybylski last night said of being caught out: “That was my fault. I was **** ing stupid. I was drunk.” He said Julie’s honey trap “was not fair” but added: “I want her back. I can’t live without her.”
