Steps in a con game 8

Let's discuss another method by which a con man gets his mark - exploiting the mark when he is psychologically vulnerable.

     Con men, at least the good ones, have been doing this for a while.  In their own way, good con men are expert psychologists who can spot human weaknesses.  In addition, good con men do their research.  They research their marks before a move is made.  If inside information can be discovered, such as that a mark's close relative died, or the mark is suffering from some sort of disease, or even if the mark is going through a mid-life crisis, this only helps the con man in his job.  A good con man will therefore even use private investigators, corporate spies or, as the situation demands, prostitutes or criminals to obtain the information necessary about the mark.

     If a mark is psychologically vulnerable, he is more apt to listen to the con man's proposals.  And, half the battle is already over for the con man.
