duped
Fell for it
Duped means deceived or tricked into believing something false.
Someone who has been duped was taken in by a lie, scam, or manipulation: Investors were duped by promises of guaranteed returns.
The word implies the victim was made to look foolish—you feel duped when you realize you've been had.
