Posing on purpose for dupe (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sitting target

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dupe' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'posing on purpose' is the wordplay.
'posing on' becomes 'sitting' (sitting is a kind of posing. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'purpose' becomes 'target' (I've seen this before).
'sitting'+'target'='SITTING TARGET'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sitting target that I've seen before include "Aunt Sally, perhaps" , "Easy victim" , "Vulnerable person" , "Something easy to hit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
