    Die Ware hielt bei weitem nicht, was sie sollte. Der Verkäufer hat mich voll gelinkt.

    Gibt es dafür eine englische Entsprechung? Die Bedeutung ist so ähnlich wie betrügen, hintergehen, aber eben nur so ähnlich.

    to con so. could fit perfectly - thanks!

    "to take for a ride" is something you would do as a joke, to tease somebody in a friendly way, isn't it?

    Suggestionto talk baloney, to pull s.o leg
    Context/ examples
    'To talk baloney' seems to be a right idiomatic expression in your example.
    Comment
    I the case of a car seller:
    Normaly they talk baloney. The car is a lemon but the car seller is talking about the good quality. It is more negative.
    To pull s.o leg: Just kidding with s.o. It is more fun.
