"... The key to a con is not that you trust the conman, but that he shows he trusts you ..."

The key to this con, a bait & switch, is greed and deception. Another key is deception. If the person is greedy, they just might be willing to tricked into suspending belief thus making deception easier. It's very hard to con someone who is honest because they aren't looking to gain something for nothing.
