    Depending on the context:
    Pull the wool over someone's eyes.
    Sell someone a pig in a poke.
    "He saw me/you coming" (after the event).
    Lead someone up the garden path.
    (And finally, as reagrds a barman/innkeeper, the origin of the saying in German,) "He tried to rob me blind".
