chiseller
Small-time con artist
A chiseller is someone who cheats or swindles, typically in small ways—overcharging, shortchanging, or wheedling money through petty schemes.
The word carries a sense of persistent, crafty dishonesty rather than bold fraud: That chiseller charged me twice for the same repair.
Also spelled chiseler.
