Illegal scheme

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scam

'illegal scheme' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scam that I've seen before include "Fraud, dishonest scheme" , "fiddle" , "Dubious operation" , "Racket" , "A modern kind of swindle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
