One definition is ”a man who cheats or tricks someone by gaining their trust and persuading them to believe something that is not true.”
Another is “a person who uses tricks to cheat people, esp. to get their money or possessions.”
A con man is someone who can speak things that are not true into existence simply by repeating them - often and loudly - and with conviction.
A con man uses fear to help sell their con; like telling their marks they are at risk of losing something, or that they need to give him money in order to keep what they have.
A con man is fundamentally dishonest, and not to be trusted.
Sometimes they are selling junky stuff and pretending it is valuable, like magic books, coins, of gold sneakers. More recently, gaudy watches that were probably made in China.
This is what a con man looks like;
Sometimes they look weird, like unnatural skin color, strange hair, or seem to be losing their chins into what looks like neck scrotum. Like the weird orange guy in the photo.
Sometimes they look more normal.
Always, they are lying in order to achieve some personal gain.
