Finessing

Finessing someone means to trick that person into giving you something you want. It may take the form of smooth-talking, a clever scam, or an outright lie. Whatever their methods, finessers skillfully manipulate people to get what they want.

While some might consider finessing a form of stealing, it usually isn't. Instead, a finesser convinces their target to willingly give them the thing they want. At times, a finesser might not deliver on a promise made while finessing. But to the finesser, that's part of the game, and the target should know better than to trust other people.
