Dishonest type (4)

I believe the answer is:

liar

(Other definitions for liar that I've seen before include "Dissembler" , "one trying to sell pork pies" , "Fabricator" , "Worse than a thief" , "Person regularly 'economical with the truth'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Wall Street Journal.
