fraudster

A fraudster is someone who intentionally deceives or tricks others to gain an unfair advantage or personal benefit, often through dishonest, misleading, or illegal means. This can include activities like stealing money, misrepresenting facts, or manipulating systems to avoid paying debts or to obtain goods, services, or information dishonestly. Fraudsters typically aim to exploit trust or vulnerabilities for their own gain, causing financial or emotional harm to individuals, businesses, or institutions. Their actions are considered unethical and illegal, and they often operate covertly to avoid detection and punishment.
