Grift

A money-making operation that is either dishonest and takes advantage of people, or is simply a cause of annoyance or scorn to those who pay. Typically, a grift is a source of easy money to whoever runs it.

That politician’s non-profit organization is a total grift!

This bag of chips I bought is only half full; I got grifted!

Those grifters at the electric company raised our bill in a time of crisis.

Anyone who offers to sell you sacred yeti body parts or photos of yeti tracks is grifting you.
