"The Confidence Game"

"The Confidence Game" refers to a manipulation where a con artist deceives someone into trusting them, often to exploit or defraud. It involves psychological tactics that build rapport, create false credibility, and exploit the victim’s trust. Essentially, the con artist gains the victim’s confidence through persuasion, charm, or deception, making them vulnerable to manipulation. The game relies on understanding human psychology and vulnerabilities to succeed. Recognizing these patterns can help individuals be more cautious and discerning in situations where trust is being exploited for personal gain.
