scam artist

A scam artist is someone who deceives others to gain money, valuables, or personal information through dishonest or fraudulent means. They often use tricks, false promises, or manipulation to persuade victims to trust them. Their actions can include pretending to be legitimate professionals, creating fake offers, or exploiting vulnerabilities. The goal is to financially benefit at the expense of others, often causing financial loss or emotional distress. Recognizing scam artists involves being cautious of unsolicited messages, unrealistic promises, or pressure to act quickly without proper verification.
