詐欺師

I thought it meant swindler, imposter or crook not confident.

詐欺師 does mean swindler, etc. Another word for swindler is "con man."

"Con man" is short for "confidence man."

It doesn't mean "confident." A "confidence man" is someone who earns a person's trust dishonestly to take something. So, this is an acceptable translation.
