Cheat, deceive (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defraud

This clue is a double definition.

'cheat' is the first definition.
(I know that defraud is a type of cheat)

'deceive' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for defraud that I've seen before include "Cheat, deceive" , "Deprive of by deceit" , "Get money from (someone) by deception" , "Illegally get money from (someone)" , "Swindle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
