Raise false alarms (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cry wolf

(Other definitions for cry wolf that I've seen before include "Raise alarm falsely" , "Create fake alarm" , "Raise repeated false alarms" , "Raise a false alarm too often, then not being believed when help is really needed" , "Cause a false alarm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
