By which I mean, people who strategically position themselves so as to acquire money/service/free stuff at the expense of another? I don't mean extortionextortion (that's too strong a word for what I need). Basically, someone who is a sucker for free/paid for things and capitalises on the opportunity. Is there a word for it? Thanks
