Shell Games are a type of deceptive activity that involves deceiving people in order to gain money or other goods. The term is often used to describe three different activities: Ripoffs (7 letters), SCAMS (5 letters) and REGATTAS (8 letters). Ripoffs involve taking advantage of someone's trust or naivety in order to gain money or goods. SCAMS involve using false promises or misrepresentations to deceive people into giving up money or goods. REGATTAS involve using false advertising or other deceptive tactics to entice people to buy goods or services. All of these activities are considered illegal and can result in serious consequences.
