Imposter If i am going to some place and tell that i am unknown gag girl then i will be imposter same like catfish like I'd keep your profile picture and give similar name to my gag account i will be imposter/catfish

Why does one become imposter to do fraud and they can be conning people in your name by impersonating you..

Similar to of identity theft like i will steal mona lisa painting with all the card details of unknow gag girl and the police will catch you at least investigate you.

Now con artist can be anybody con artist are like more dramatic they make a story and they make you believe them then take all your money and poof they may come in any shape size or form.

Let's say you were working in some cosmetic clinic and patient comes you will tell her that you will make her like Maddison ray but you may be only make her look like her first copy that is still conning 😜😂

No. A con artist involves scamming someone out of their money. An imposter doesn't have to scam people out of money or even have ill will towards them.

Con artists also use people's desperation against them. I'm not ashamed to admit I once got conned out of $400 by a fake recruiter hiring for a non-existent company. Considering how much I needed a job a that time, I fell for it, even though signing up for a training seminar seems crazy in hindsight. So imposters and con artists/scammers, aren't the same.

Most men who flirt with women are imposters; they have no desire to hurt the woman, but they are not as confident, articulate, or cool as they pretend to be with her. While some women are con artists; they don't like or even respect the guy, but they will happily take the free dinners and emotional validation involved.

No. An imposter is pretending to be someone else whilst a con artist is trying to defraud you of money (usually). The imposter might have that goal as part of the con but might just get a kick out people thinking he is who is some celeb. Or make money from being a look alike to Elvis.

No.

Donald Trump is a con artist, but he is definitely not an imposter - his ego couldn't stand the idea of being anyone other than Donald Trump.

[CaptainSmartass]

I believe they prefer the term "Members of Parliament".

Simples...

Did you look up the definitions?

They are both deceivers out for personal gain, the big difference being an imposter pretends to be a totally different person or individual.

[Chazmatazz269]

Not really. An impostor is a con artist, but a con artist isn’t necessarily an impostor.

[FilmGuy93]

No, but they are related. You can be a con artist without ever pretending to be someone that you aren't.

[WhitneySnow]

Impostor means someone who impersonated someone else

[Mark987]

No.. a con artist will promise you certain things for his benefit.. an imposter will hide his whole identity and life

[AkshiJanjua]

No con artist is an art whereas imposter is a skill

[UnknownGagsUser]

Lol 😂

[AkshiJanjua]

Lol I am serious

[TallAnon]

No, an impostor pretends to be something they are not. A con artist can use any means to con people out of their money.

[zagor]

No. Someone can be both, but one can also be either without being the other.

[TheMajesticKing777]

I think one has money involved

[ZenJen444]
