Deceives, swindles (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheats

This clue is a double definition.

'deceives' is the first definition.
(cheating is a kind of deceiving)

'swindles' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for cheats that I've seen before include "Deceivers" , "Doesn't play fair" , "Chaste sort of swindlers" , "Doesn't follow the rules of the game" , "Dishonest dealers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
