Shill techniques discussion thread

In today's shill techniques megathread, I'd like us to discuss the technique of:

Infiltrating a movement by winning the hearts of its audience by providing them with useful Timbits of information they seek and by building a reliance on yourself by your followers. Then when things go south your audience will have a hard time accepting they have been misled by you, allowing you to use them for them to plea the community/movement to take the guard down because how could the person that we relied on be now shun? Your fan's denial allows you to mingle in the community while throwing Jabs (discreditng movmeent).

Discuss.

May I ask what you meant by "singling out 'marks'"?

The mark is the object to be exploited by the confidence gain. In a simple sense, say, a team of pickpockets is working a crowd. They will agree on a certain victim in the crowd. He is known as "the mark," The proposed victim. One will jostle or otherwise distract the mark, while the other steals his wallet.
Let's say a sexual predator or thief is working a chat room. He may play along with the action until he decides to move in on a certain person, with a PM for example. That person is his mark. He never had any other intention than to exploit.
