\"9. What can I do if I believe that I have been cheated?
First, you should send a letter clearly explaining the facts-by certified mail, with a return receipt requested-to the person or business that you believe is doing something wrong. Be sure to keep a copy. Perhaps the matter can be settled at this point.\"

They have cheated me - they have deceived me
Two options that have the same meaning.

they have mislead me
Mislead is less scornful and leaves room for doubt, but you need to decide based on the level of deceit
Something went wrong...
