grifter

Someone who swindles other people. Mom, don't be a fool and give this guy more money when he hasn't done a single part of this job right so far. He's a total grifter! That offer really was too good to be true—turns out, the guy was a grifter, and he conned us out of thousands. Rich is a known grifter—don't believe a word he says.
