grifters

Grifters are individuals who deceive others to gain money or benefits through manipulation, lies, or trickery. They often create false promises or fraudulent schemes to exploit people's trust and vulnerability. Unlike legitimate entrepreneurs or salespeople, grifters rely on deception rather than genuine value or service. Their actions can range from small cons to elaborate schemes, and their goal is personal gain at the expense of others’ honesty or finances. Recognizing grifters involves being cautious of their promises, verifying information, and understanding that they prioritize self-interest over integrity.
