/Sounds like "tra" + "MO" (as in "mocha") + "ya"/
A scheme or deceptive plan designed to take advantage of someone. In Mexico it describes a dirty play where someone outsmarts another person through trickery. Originally a theater term for stage machinery, it evolved to mean any behind the scenes manipulation.
"Le armaron una tramoya para quitarle el puesto. -> They set up a scheme to take his position away."
"No te dejes, eso es pura tramoya del vendedor. -> Don't fall for it, that's just a trick from the salesman."
