Criminal fake fur trades (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fraudster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'criminal' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'fake fur trades' is the wordplay.
'fake' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'fur'+'trades'='furtrades'
'furtrades' is an anagram of 'FRAUDSTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fraudster that I've seen before include "he'll take you for a ride" , "Conman" , "28 [CHEAT]" , "One perpetrating a deception" , "I'll take you for a ride" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
