Victims are often fooled and swindled out of their money because they have little or no expertise in the area in which the con artist is operating. The perpetrator can use sophisticated language and make claims outside the victim’s expertise. The crook sounds legitimate, primarily because the victim doesn’t really know what truly is legitimate. When the targeted victim knows more about the subject than the person attempting the con, the odds are good the perpetrator will fail at his attempt to fool the victim.
