From the point of view of a professional deceiving psychologist, there are many nuances that make it possible to successfully "lead people by the nose", while being undisclosed. All these techniques are based on human psychology, on stereotypes developed over the years, on the average person's habit of standard thinking.

Step 1
Scammers choose the right look. In most cases, the first and strongest opinion about a person is formed by his clothes, grooming, and manners. By changing clothes, you can achieve a completely different perception of the same person. This is due to the fact that the high cost of clothing determines the social status of its wearer. And simply dressing up automatically transfers anyone to another social group. A well-dressed person is considered a politician, a big boss, or a successful businessman. A person in a military or police uniform begins to be respected as a representative of authority. People in white coats have traditionally developed a trusting, almost friendly attitude, especially from the elderly.
Step 2
Deceivers inspire confidence. To do this, they use various ways to lull the victim's trust: they create an appropriate reputation, image, the conversation is conducted in an honest, open tone, they come up with some kind of legend, flatter, cause pity. As a more subtle technique, they become the "double" of the deceived: they show clearly expressed signs of attention, listen carefully, take an ardent part in the conversation and in the fate of the victim, sympathize. For many potential victims, casual physical contact helps make them soft and docile. Which, by the way, is often used by the Gypsies.
Step 3
Fraudsters in every possible way create the image of an innocent person - the impression that the victim surpasses them in intelligence, belittling their mental abilities, feigning a silly smile and serving in everything. As a result, the deceived loses vigilance, believes that the opponent is simply not able to deceive him. The elderly or minors are often used as dummy simpletons.
Step 4
Distracting attention. This technique is widely used by illusionists and cheaters. Based on the psychophysiological features of consciousness: a person's attention can be focused only on a limited number of objects. As a more complex technique, the victim is artificially increased the flow of information given out, which is difficult for her to assimilate, but in which it is easy to get confused. Often, in order to ensure success, it is expected that the person being deceived is tired, sick, or drunk, and his mindfulness will be naturally reduced.
Step 5
Use reflexes. Each person has developed a corresponding reflex in response to a certain irritation. If we consider an arbitrarily large group of people, it turns out that many have the same reflexes. For example, if you approach someone from behind and touch the shoulder, the subject will reflexively turn around. At this moment, his attention will be focused only on finding out: who touched him. He will not notice if at this moment someone gets into his pocket or cuts his purse.
Step 6
The sex and age of the victim are taken into account. So, for example, it is easier to deceive a man if he builds a deliberately false, but logically justified chain of reasoning. Women are deceived through her feelings and emotions. Young people are lured by the opportunity to get something that is not available to them for many reasons: good earnings, a prestigious position, social status, a beautiful woman, etc. Elderly people are easier to deceive by pretending to be social workers, doctors, postmen.
