首先看一个例子：A nationwide campaign in February asking the public for examples of scam mailings they had received showed just how the rip-offs have become. 二月份他们曾在全国范围内征集公众收到的诈骗邮件案例，结果表明此类诈骗行为已相当普遍。 这则报道中用来表述“诈骗”这个意思的有两个词，分别为scam 和 rip-off; scam这个词既可以指“骗子、骗局”也可以用做动词表示“欺骗、诈骗”之意，比如我们常见的“网络诈骗”就可以用the Internet scam来表示；rip-off 也是指to cheat someone or to make them pay too much for something,有点“敲竹杠、宰客”的意思。 此外，街头时常上演的碗盖石头或扑克牌的游戏也是骗局中典型的一种，这类把戏在英文里称为：confidence game,简称con game.这里的confidence可不是指受骗者有信心赢得赌注，而是指行骗者稳操胜算，设下一个赢你没商量的圈套。从这个词组衍生出的con一词，可以用做动词和名词使用，也是“骗人、骗子”的意思。
