Deceit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fraud

'deceit' is the definition.
(I know that fraud is a type of wile)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fraud that I've seen before include "Criminal deception" , "Fiddle" , "Deceit, especially financial" , "Duplicity" , "Cheat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
