: Can anyone think of a phrase that means to falsely raise someone's expectations, only to possibly dash them again?
"Bait and switch" comes to mind --- it's the name of a swindler's ploy which has passed into general usage, seeming to offer some attractive "bait" which is switched at the last minute for something worthless.
