Do those two expressions have the same meaning?
If you want people to understand your titles, don't use text speak. "Work somebody for something" vs "Con somebody out of something" would have been much clearer. I don't much like the tone of your response to emsr2d2, it costs nothing to be polite and rudeness will not be tolerated on this forum. For the record I have never heard "Work somebody for something".Where did you read "work OUT", I'm asking about "work somebody FOR something" versus "con something out of somebody" - read the title.
One is coward unable to admit publicly a simple mistake, another one... well, watchdogs, talking to them is a waste of time.
