The confidence game is such a game by which the perpetrator derived the faith of the victim, by using fraud or cheating to the victim and getting all the information regarding property, wealth, and personal life of the victim (Legal Information Institute., 2021). The perpetrator by using various techniques influences the victim to disclose all the facts about his/her life. In the present day context, the perpetrators are using social media to induce the public and get their entire information by defrauding them.
