Making contact with, for the purpose of getting money from? (8)
I believe the answer is:
touching
'making contact' is the definition.
'touching' can be an answer for 'contact' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'making' bit.
'for the purpose of getting money from?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is present in the answer.
'money' could be 'c' and 'c' is found within the answer.
'from?' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for touching that I've seen before include "Pathetic" , "feeling" , "Arousing feelings of sympathy or gratitude" , "Contiguous" , "meeting ..." .)
