Scumbag
A shyster, fraud, conman, scammer or anything else along those lines, especially one who is exceptionally sleazy and runs con schemes as a full-time job/primary source of income. Schemes run by a scumbag can vary greatly and be pretty unique at times.
"They originated as a bunch of scumbags in Babylon in the 5th century AD who came together to start a fraud scheme where they pose as Israelites to leverage that group's historical and spiritual significance. They also wrote some very hateful literature."
