Agree to swindle scoundrel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concur

'agree' is the definition.
(I know that agree can be written as concur)

'swindle scoundrel' is the wordplay.
'swindle' becomes 'con' (synonyms).
'scoundrel' becomes 'cur' (cur can mean a despicable person).
'con'+'cur'='CONCUR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for concur that I've seen before include "Be in accord" , "Express agreement" , "meet" , "share the same opinion" , "See eye to eye" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
