Who do they think they are? Con-men (although /they/ might not think 
so).

Who do they think you are?  A potential mark.  The con-man game is all 
about the law of averages.  Try enough marks, and some will take the 
bait and you'll (the con-man) get a payoff.  To secure enough payoffs 
they have to try a lot of potential marks to find the few that bite.

But they don't 'know' you, anymore than they know the other 1,000 
potential marks they tested yesterday.
