confidence games

English to Polish Other Other
Con artists thrive by faking trustworthiness, and they’re finding the internet and the companies that do business there ripe for exploitation. Online confidence games today are where spam was in 1998 – they’re bad but bearable, and businesses and governments are irrationally optimistic that they can be stopped.
