Essential to a "Con Job". Gain a victims trust, then take their money. The Nigerian Prince, the lost cousin, the grandchild in trouble, the land speculator, the mine salter, the inheritance in the foreign county, the email from your bank telling you to use this link to reset your password. And then there are the bigger ones using whole nations. A Confidence Man. Essential to a “Con Job”. Gain a victims trust, then take their money.

It is the the platform of the Republican Party. "If we give tax cuts to the wealthy (especially the GOP's biggest donors) then the wealth will trickle down to everyone!" Is a grift. "Unless you vote for us the Immigrants will come and rape your women!" is a grift. See also 'Confidence man', or to 'con' someone... gaining the trust of a victim in order to take something from them. See also the movie "The Sting"... an excellent movie.
