Usage Note
Truffa denotes a deliberate deception for financial or personal gain — stronger than a mere errore (mistake) and more specific than the broader frode. The related verb is truffare ('to swindle') and the agent noun is truffatore ('swindler'). Common collocations include truffa online (online scam) and cadere in una truffa ('to fall for a scam').
Examples
"Ha denunciato la truffa alla polizia."
