duping
Pulling one over
Duping is the act of deceiving or tricking someone into believing something false: They're duping customers into paying for services they don't need.
The word implies the victim is made a fool of—a dupe.
In gaming slang, duping also refers to exploiting glitches to duplicate items: He got banned for duping rare weapons.
