| A zombified society, passively allowing itself to be hypnotised by every cunning conman with a used monster to sell. |
| What a hustler or conman is looking for in a victim, we are very usefully told, is not stupidity but loneliness. |
| A conman who poses as a policeman has been handing out fake speeding fines to unsuspecting motorists. |
| The conman asks the person contacted to contribute a small sum of money to speed up the release of the funds. |
| The artistry of the conman is given an enticing makeover by Sir Ridley Scott in Matchstick Men, an ingenious little crime caper which functions on many levels. |
| The conman stepped into the hall saying he was from the police and walked straight into the living room. |
