Is there one word for "being deceived into complying"?

Is there one word for "being deceived into complying"?

Example sentence to use it in would be:

I will not be <deceived into complying> with the rules you have stated


Duped is a good word used most frequently for being led into doing something by false promises or trickery

A very common way you would hear it saw would be in a retort "He's not going to dupe me into doing that!" or an excuse "Why are you invovled on that side of the mess anyway? " "He duped me into it" ..

(things like that)

dupe at dictionary .com http://www.dictionary.com/browse/duped

  1. a person who is easily deceived or fooled; gull.

2.va person who unquestioningly or unwittingly serves a cause or another person:

a dupe of the opponents.

verb (used with object), duped, duping.

3. to make a dupe of; deceive; delude; trick.

While it might stretch the word a bit thin you might be understood without extra context

I won't be duped ~into~ your rules.

(I know that is a bit different than your sample sentence)

It does not strictly mean 'complying' however it is very frequently used for being made a pawn to serve another's aims -

... but 'serving unquestioningly/unwittingly' and 'being compliant to' are pretty close. ... but 'being compliant to' and "complying to' are slightly different

Another trip-up: the idiomatic usage is "duped into VERBing something" or "duped into a situation". In a way, some of the "complying" is another idiomatic method were we will drop a necessary verb when a word suggests the verb that would apply. Is "They were forced into unfair rules." ok or must it be "They were forced into complying with unfair rules." ?

I am just warning that there is something a little tricky in there. (thanks to @geneSummons comment in top section)

'Duped' fits the spirit of of a special type of deception that makes a person compliant. "Tricked into rules" might also suggest compliance as 'xxxx into rules' assumes compliance ... but "Tricked" might merely 'mislead' into an action, not cast a spell to make someone compliant to anothers wishes.


You might find that the word misled, or mislead in present tense, works quite well.

From the prefix mis-

Prefixed to verbs, with sense ‘badly’, ‘wrongly’, ‘perversely’, ‘mistakenly’, ‘amiss’.

And stem lead meaning, of course, to bring someone somewhere.

I will not be misled by your arguments.
