A person who cheats or defrauds others by taking their money through trickery.
From 'fleece' (to swindle) plus '-er' (one who does). Originally meant someone who shears sheep, then metaphorically anyone who strips another of money.
A 'fleecer' is essentially a financial predator—the image of shearing a defenseless sheep perfectly captures the betrayal and helplessness of being scammed!
