"Taking of any property tangible or intangible (without permission) constitutes theft, whether that goal was achieved via social engineering/breaking & entering/carjacking makes no difference."
The permission thingy in brackets is something most people rambling here seem to forget, for example.
An interesting application of your definition is an application to trades.
Just because you bought something (a coin, a share) high and sold low, noone has "stolen" anything from you since you did both actions (buying and selling) voluntarily, that is, for instance, somebody has taken your coin, or shares with your "permission".
In fact, to understand you, I need your definitions, see.
Quote your definitions of
scam
stolen
con man
before you go any further.

Stolen: Not worth my time, if you are trying to pick apart the meaning of this word you are a lackey and will defend him to the death.
