scam artist

Otis Drexell, crotchety fifth-grade teacher and scam artist, has only two classroom rules: “Never shout when the teacher has a hangover,” and “All loose change belongs to the teacher.”

Lamar did so in a track called “Euphoria” in which he called Drake a “scam artist” and accused the Canadian rapper of appropriating elements of Black American culture.

“You’re not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted,” Lamar raps over a simmering soul-music groove in the song’s intro.

Then, the victim feels compelled to send money when the scam artist says they need it.

One common scenario involves the scam artist encouraging you to send money for an investment or asking you to accept a large deposit, which you then forward to another account.
