Ahhh the long con... very good.

Hi mindfulmojo,
what means "long con"?
Thanks
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle/con_jargon.shtmlA 'long con' or 'big con' refers to a more complex, planned con, whereby 'the mark' is sent to get more money or used to get more money than is just on his person.
But I'd say this looks more like a short con:
A 'short con' refers to taking 'the mark' for all the money he has on his person. It's an opportunist scam that isn't pre-planned to any great deal.
