== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Happens in season 2 of ''[[Code Geass]]'', when Kallen is sent by the Black Knights to take Lelouch to a warehouse as part of [[Et Tu, Brute?|their betrayal]].

* In the [[Jorge Luis Borges]] short story ''Death and the Compass'', {{spoiler|the series of [[Connect the Deaths|connected deaths]] were done for the purpose of luring the detective to a specific location, where his enemy can kill him}}.

* In ''[[Deryni]] Checkmate'', Morgan and Duncan have to pay their respects at Saint Torin's shrine to obtain pilgrim badges and enter the city of Dhassa. {{spoiler|Some of Morgan's foes put a drug on a needle on the gate latch, just where anybody would put his hand to open the gate.}} Morgan is drugged and abducted this way.

* In the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' series Kitiara does this to Laurana by convincing the elfmaid that their mutual [[Love Interest]], Tanis Half-Elven, has been mortally wounded and wants to see her before he dies which coincidentally enough will require Laurana to leave the safety of the fortified city where her army is stationed and come in person without guards to a meeting site of Kitiara's choosing.

 

* ''[[The Shadow Line]]'' has an example of this being pulled on a villain. {{spoiler|Gatehouse is sent to kill Jonah Gabriel for [[He Knows Too Much|his assumed knowledge of Counterpoint]], yet Gabriel's just bait and Glickman intends to kill Gatehouse when he goes to find him.}}

* In an episode of ''[[Burn Notice]]'', a character is offered a meeting in an alleyway. Michael tells him that it's an ambush nad that he'll go instead. H then makes a van bulletproof via phonebooks, before talking a man he wants to keep on his side with him into the alleyway and getting shot up. They get out of the alleyway unhurt.
