"A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a
political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and
assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the
shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage others unaware of the
set-up to purchase said goods or services or support the political
group's ideological claims. Shills are often employed by confidence
artists and governments."
