Question

Can anyone tell me whether the following sentences are correct?

1. You don't trust in me.
2. It's not nice to take all someone's money or possessions.

(The last sentence, I found it on the internet as a meaning of the idiom 'take someone to the cleaners.')

Have a look at 1.4 for the meaning of "trust in" as a phrasal verb here:

Anonymous~~The last sentence,~~ I found it the second sentence on the Internet as a meaning of the idiom 'take someone to the cleaners.'

No, that's not what it means. Have a look below for the correct meaning:

Oh, thanks so so much!

And is the phrase "take all someone's money or possessions" correct? I meant to say that I found this phrase as a meaning of the idiom, not the sentence. Sorry for the slip-up!

vdb"take all someone's money or possessions"

That's grammatical, but it does not mean the same as the idiom "take someone to the cleaners."
