profit extraction

Fraudulently obtaining a profit from a consumer by deceiving, manipulating, tricking him or her.
Profit extraction reminds me of a tooth extraction, pulling the tooth out from the gum. It also reminds me of the term "rip off." Ultimately, profit extraction is the act of pulling something which belongs to a person, from them, and taking it away.
