Ripoff (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scam

'ripoff' 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 "'A con, deception (4)'" , "Swindle (sl.)" , "Fraudulent business scheme" , "Fraud, trick (slang)" , "A modern kind of swindle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Newsday.
