the con man

A con man is a person who deceives others with lies or trickery to gain money, goods, or advantages unlawfully. Often, they craft convincing schemes or false stories to persuade victims to trust them. Con men typically exploit people's trust, emotions, or lack of knowledge to carry out their deception. Their intent is to benefit at someone else’s expense, usually through manipulation and false promises. Recognizing their tactics involves being cautious of schemes that seem too good to be true, and verifying information before acting or sharing personal details.
