BTW, all the Japanese dicts have essentially identical definition:
「金品(など)をだまし取ること。」
  Comments:
* remove “exploitation”, which is inaccurate/misleading (you exploit peasants – this is instead swindling)
* reword vague “fraud” to more specific “defrauding”, conveying nuance of *taking* by fraud
* not adding “embezzlement”, which GG5 lists, as in contemporary English (AFAIK) this is esp. stealing money you have been *entrusted* with, which in Japanese is instead 横領 and 使い込む
