lure
Draw them in
A lure is something that attracts or tempts, often toward danger or unwise action: the lure of easy money, the lure of fame.
In fishing, a lure is an artificial bait designed to attract fish.
To lure is to entice or draw someone toward something: They lured him into a trap.
The word usually implies enticement toward something questionable or harmful.
