sleazebag

Morally repugnant individual

A sleazebag is a person regarded as morally repugnant, dishonest, or disgustingly sleazy—someone who inspires contempt through slimy behavior, shady dealings, or general untrustworthiness: That sleazebag tried to cheat my grandmother out of her savings.

The term is informal and derogatory, often applied to con artists, corrupt figures, or anyone who seems to lack basic decency.
