All successful con artists work a scheme of communication and confidence. From what I've seen of Mr. Gillani's conduct, this is a confidence game. In this case, Mr. Gillani earned the confidence of a family member who had access to Mr. Jaffer and arranged the introduction of the two of them. I believe he has made a reference to sharing a religious affiliation with Mr. Jaffer.
