1. 1騙子、詐欺犯(新聞常寫詐騙;口語騙子。台灣也說金光黨,偏花言巧語詐財的那種人)

    A conman is a person who tricks people in order to take their money. He wins your trust, then cheats you — a fake investment, a sad story that is not true, a “prize” you have to pay for. The word is informal and sharp in tone; it names someone as a cheat, not a job they would print on a card. Though actually, people of any gender can do this; English also says con artist, which does not mark gender, and many writers now prefer that. You will also see it written as two words, con man. Nearby talk: to con someone (the verb) and a con (the trick itself). It is not a magician: the wants applause; the conman wants your wallet.

組成From con + -man. Con is the cheat or the trick; -man means a person.
