be taken in by (someone)
1. To be fooled, swindled, cheated, or beguiled (by someone or something). It galls me how many people are taken in by companies' claims that "the customer matters most. You spent $1,000 on some cure-all pill you bought off the internet? How could you be taken in by that scam?
