engañados
Este sentido de "overreach" no es obsoleto, pero sí es algo arcaico. Todavía está en los buenos diccionarios:
"overreach
2 [with object] get the better of by cunning; outwit:
Faustus’s lunacy in thinking he can overreach the devil"
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/overreach?v...
"overreach
transitive verb
3: to get the better of especially in dealing and bargaining and typically by unscrupulous or crafty methods"
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/overreach
Y las definiciones del Webster de 1913 dan una buena idea de cómo se utilizaba la palabra antiguamente:
"To deceive, or get the better of, by artifice or cunning; to outwit; to cheat. [...]
To cheat by cunning or deception."
http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?resource=Webster's&word=overrea...
Así pues, el sentido exacto es "engañar".
