I mentioned before on this blog that I happen to be a big fan of con games and con men. I understand, of course, that con men are criminals and con games are crime schemes (hence the purpose of this blog in the first place), but I still can't help but admire people that have the ability to gain the confidence of a person and, by using this misplaced confidence, take advantage of their victim. I guess it comes down to the fact that it seems obvious to me that anyone can take a gun and rob someone, but to gain someone's confidence takes work and ingenuity.
We will therefore spend a few days exploring some of the better known con games that have been played throughout the years. They all are "games" in the sense that they are not complex schemes, but rather rely on the self-confidence of the perpetrator and the ability to fool the "mark." Most of these con games have been around for centuries, if not longer. Human nature does not change.
We will start off tomorrow with the "embarassing check" con game which indeed goes back centuries, in one way or another.
Hope you like it.
