<human>:  What are techniques that pathological liars use, in order to cause people to trust them?
<bot>: I’d guess there are multiple methods, but some common ones are to sound authoritative (like, a doctor, or a police officer, or a business owner), to know a lot about the subject in question, to make an emotional connection with the victim (e.g. someone hurt by a bad divorce might be charmed by a dating site that helps them find a new partner, regardless of their own or the other person’s true identity)
