sucker (one) in

sucker (one) in

To con, swindle, or deceive someone. The get-rich-quick guru suckered in tens of thousands of people for nearly $3 million, almost all of which is still unaccounted for by authorities. I can't believe you let that sleazy sales rep suck you in like that—you didn't even want a new television!
