* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'': One year before Lila moves to Paris, she volunteers in a few retirement homes under fake names in order to ingratiate herself with one specific type of lonely elderly--those who've been abandoned by their families and own decent money. She first gets a good amount of money out of them (it's implicit she isn't honest when they send her to run some errands) but then manages to make Ms. Agnes Delacroix trust her so much to allow Lila to set up a bank account. This is how Lila obtains an account with no connection to her true identity.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': {{Inverted}} by Itachi during the Uchiha Massacre. He boasts to his little brother Sasuke that he's murdered the clan (which includes both their parents) to test the limits of his strength, then tells him that he'll spare him because he's too pathetic to kill. This is done with the purpose of making Sasuke, who at this point adores his big brother, into hating him. However, Itachi spares Sasuke because he loves him so much he could never bring himself to kill him. Similarly, he exterminates the Uchiha Clan under orders of a shady superior and out of believing it'd prevent a devastating a civil war.



* ''Fanfic/GuiltOfInnocence'' (''Manga/{{Naruto}}''): {{Inverted}}. Sasuke confounds his friends with hostility so they won't question his sudden FaceHeelTurn. It also serves for convincing Orochimaru, his enemy, of the same. This way, nobody suspects that he's gone to Oto on an undercover mission to spy on Orochimaru for Konoha.

* ''WebVideo/FreshyKanal'': Possibly, but instead of immediately bragging about himself like everyone else, Cheshire Cat takes his time politely greeting the viewer (though not without a hidden barb) and [[FakeReassurance assuring them]] that they're safe with him right before his bars and tone take a vastly different direction.

SubTrope of UnexpectedKindness (someone is actually nice to another character when they aren't expecting it). Compare TheFakeCutie (a character that pretends to be TheCutie). Contrast DeliberateInjuryGambit (letting an attack hit you to let you use an attack of your own) and ParanoiaGambit (inducing frenzied paranoia in someone through false promises of retribution). Contrast FriendlyEnemy (the heroes and villains are friendly to each other).
