con games

Con games, or confidence tricks, are deceitful schemes where a scammer manipulates someone into trusting them, then exploits that trust to obtain money, valuables, or sensitive information. They often involve deception, psychological manipulation, and elaborate stories to persuade victims they are acting legitimately. Common tactics include false promises, impersonation, or creating a sense of urgency. Successful con artists rely on understanding human psychology, exploiting greed, fear, or trust. Recognizing these tactics can help individuals avoid falling victim to such scams.
