"Bamboozle" is much more closely associated with the act of confusing someone. This might be part of the process of taking advantage of them, but it's not central to the meaning. – FumbleFingers Aug 21 '11 at 18:09

Another possibility: to deceive ?

to mislead or falsely persuade others; practice deceit: an engaging manner that easily deceives.
