A con artist, often referred to as a CHARMER, is someone who uses deception and manipulation to take advantage of people for their own personal gain. They are skilled in the art of persuasion and use charm and charisma to win over their victims. They often target vulnerable people, such as the elderly or those in financial difficulty, and use their skills to convince them to part with their money or possessions. Con artists can be found in many different areas, from online scams to door-to-door sales.
