is that correct?

Hello there :)

Alexandre,

I don't see any problem in saying "scammed", although you could also have said "They passed me behind", since in this context the person seemed to be in a line.


Regards.
Caio.

Sugestão/complemento:

"I got shafted" (Fui passado para trás)
Alexandre,

I am sorry, I skimmed your text.

- Éramos os próximos, e eu sinto que eu fui passado para trás.

Because of that portuguese article "os" I assumed it was a line, but there isn't an article like that in your original sentence.

So, now I guess what you meant was the feeling of being robbed and losing something, you could use "rip off"

"We were close and I feel like I was ripped off".

Regards,
Caio.

I'd like to thank you all for helping. But this sentence is about friendship. They were close friends

They were really close friends, until A was deceived, lied, cheaten by B.

A and B were really close friends, until B done him (done A) wrong, by not playing fair, by deceiving/lying/conning/cheating his friend. With friends like these you don´t need enemies! A don´t trust B anymore.

O phrasal verb: cheat out não poderia ser encaixado nesse contexto, em ser enganado por alguém ?

eu teria usado o cheat out caso não soubesse nenhuma outra opção, será que iriam entender o meu ponto?

Obrigado.

It might or might not, dependind of what the meaning you want.

Generally, unless I am mistaken, "cheat out" suggests that you have some valuable goods, inheritance, money, valuables, to be scammed by somebody else, or vice versa. Whereas the previous words are used in a more general fashion.

At times, the two meanings can be use interchangeably or intersect.
One could have been deceived/fooled by a friend that gained his trust and betrayed him, at the same time, cheated him out of something he had.
