Bogus offer (4)

I believe the answer is:

scam

'bogus offer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scam that I've seen before include "Fraudulent scheme, swindle" , "Hoax" , "Swindle (Slang)" , "Confidence trick, swindle" , "A slangy swindle or fraud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Newsday.com, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
