If you look at the photo above you'll see a Carnival Barker; the archetypical Shill.

He collects the cash, inviting the public to buy a ticket, and enter the tent.

That is his job. He gets paid. He gets paid to get as many people inside as he can.

Often, at 'random' he'll have a 'satisfied customer' (a fellow Shill) who is

'just like you', tell the possible customers of all the wonders he saw inside.

What is inside is usually mock and rubbish. If it wasn't people would not need to be enticed to enter.

The Shill shouts about the wonders, because ever sucker he pulls in, is money in his pocket.



No matter the nature of the scam, the nature of the Shill remains the same.

He is to rope in suckers to be ripped off.
