the.com/scammer

Someone who skips the part where they earn your money and goes straight to taking it.

means A person who defrauds others, typically by tricking them into handing over money or personal information.

from Rooted in 'scam,' a word that surfaced in mid-20th-century American slang for a swindle or confidence trick, with origins that are genuinely murky — some trace it to carnival and con-artist jargon, possibly linked to 'scheme,' but no origin is confirmed. 'Scammer' simply tacks the agent suffix '-er' onto it: one who runs the scam.
