Legal Definitions - swindler

Definition: A swindler is someone who intentionally deceives or cheats another person for personal gain.

Examples:

• A man who promises to sell a car to someone but takes their money and never delivers the car is a swindler.
• A woman who convinces her elderly neighbor to give her money for a fake charity is a swindler.
• A company that sells a product with false claims and takes people's money is a group of swindlers.

These examples illustrate how a swindler intentionally deceives someone for their own benefit. They use lies and false promises to gain trust and then take advantage of the victim's trust to cheat them out of money or other valuable things.
