"you could have fooled me"

"Son noticias para mí" sounds strange...

"That's news for me" might be better understood as "eso es (algo) nuevo para mí" (≈ "no lo sabía") ...is that the idea, Here4good?

Yes, I think that's more the idea. Sorry, think I took this thread a bit off track

Son noticias para mí
?????????????

So, to you, that phrase in English only has to be said with sarcasm?

Te entendería mejor si dices, "eso es nuevo para mí" o mejor aún, "eso no lo sabía"

Hmm, he visto una palabra que es más cerca de la versión inglesa ,

Desilusionar e ilusionar(se)

¿Llevan significados parecidos?

Los hombres me dieron que todo está bueno, en realidad nada está bueno. Pero podrían haberme ilusionado

No me siento que está correcto

No.....

That could have fooled me can be used sarcastically as well as sincerely.
I often hear it used sarcastically.
