Computers set up for fraud (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scam

'for fraud' is the definition.
(scam is a kind of fraud)

'computers set up' is the wordplay.
'computers' becomes 'Macs' (Apple Macs).
'set up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'macs' reversed gives 'SCAM'.

(Other definitions for scam that I've seen before include "Con trick" , "Fraud, dishonest scheme" , "Fraudulent trick or swindle" , "Fraudulent scheme, swindle" , "Screw" .)
