Con game (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'con game' 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 "An informal swindle" , "Rip-off" , "Confidence trick, swindle" , "Swindle (Slang)" , "Dubious operation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The Mirror and the Universal.
