Bandera de España

/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "MAHR" (as in "mar")/

To trick or scam someone with cunning and cleverness in Spain — robbing you without you even noticing the deception. By the time you realize you've been conned, it's too late to get back what you lost.

Example

"They conned him out of 500 euros at a fake shop."

"Don't let those sellers con you."
