Deceiving or fraudulent (9)

I believe the answer is:

dishonest

This clue is a double definition.

'deceiving' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'fraudulent' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for dishonest that I've seen before include "Fraudulent" , "Not straightforward" , "Mendacious like hedonists" , "Corrupt" , "Crooked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
