A mark is a slang term used to refer to a person who is an easy target for deception or manipulation, often due to their gullibility or naivety.

A mark is someone who can be easily fooled or taken advantage of because they are trusting or unaware of the true intentions of others. This term is commonly used in the context of scams or cons, where the con artist identifies their target as a mark and proceeds to deceive them for personal gain.

Example 1: The smooth-talking salesman targeted John as a mark because he believed that John would fall for his exaggerated promises and buy the overpriced product.

Example 2: Sarah’s kind-hearted nature made her an easy mark for the charity scammer who convinced her to donate a large amount of money to a fake cause.
