Shady scheme (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scam

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scam that I've seen before include "Swindle (Slang)" , "Hoax" , "ploy" , "Fraudulent action" , "Fraud, trick (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the USA Today and the Universal.
