Defraud, deceive (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swindle

This clue is a double definition.

'defraud' is the first definition.
(I know that defraud can be written as swindle)

'deceive' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for swindle that I've seen before include "Bilk" , "Ramp" , "Fraudulent action" , "skin" , "Cheat (out of money)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
