buddy hustler

A person who works to build a close, trusting relationship with another person, then takes everything they can from the new friend.

Once the "buddy" catches on, the buddy hustler simply moves on to someone else -- preferrably someone not known by the previous victim.

Friend 1: "Watch your shit, dude. He's nothin' but a buddy hustler."

Friend 2: "Thanks, man. I'll keep my distance."
