Is “tu fais confiance à moi” the same as “tu me fais confiance”?

On the quiz for “you trust me” it rejects “tu fais confiance à moi” and seems to accept only “tu me fais confiance” as a correct answer. Why is “tu fais confiance à moi” wrong?

Hi Chuck,

'Tu fais confiance à moi' isn't correct French and you won't hear a French person say it.

'Tu me fais confiance'

is correct

also-

'Tu lui/leur/nous fais confiance' 

But you can say:

Tu fais confiance à Marie/ à ton frère

Hope this helps!
