Explanation
The word Despite at the beginning of the sentence means that the blank must oppose the encouragement of a “con artist” (someone who tricks people out of money) — something like doubtful. (A mark is someone who is a target of a criminal or con artist). Skeptical and leery work, although leery is more negative.
Hence options skeptical, leery are correct!
