I have said this a couple of times and it bears repeating:

(From the movie "The Sting")

"You have to keep this con even after you take his money. He can't know you took him."

No one has ever said they were smart. In fact, I have heard someone say "these people are stupid" many times. 

If it is "one of them" doing the stinging, as it were, how would they know?

At least I keep myself entertained thinking about this.
