A confidence trick or a confidence game, more often known as a con or a scam is an attempt to delude a person or people which involves gaining his or her confidence. A very common scam is the advance free fraud which is a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance relatively small sums of money in hopes of realizing a much larger gain. Fabricating such get-rich-quick schemes  may seem attractive to people, con-men mainly rely on potential  victims who are naive enough to put their confidence in these chimerical schemes. Victims end up in a pitiful plight after finding out that they have been conned of their life savings due to their greed.
