How it's used
Focus on the deliberate design of the scheme when using this term. It implies a structured setup or a trap laid out by someone to lure others into a loss. While 呃人 is the general act of lying or cheating, 騙局 specifically refers to the elaborate scenario or plot created to facilitate that deception.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 呃, which is a verb meaning to cheat or deceive. 騙局 is a noun representing the entire scheme, so it should be used with classifiers like 個 or 呢個.
