I have never heared of chanchullo (coloquial), I think it's only used on MX right?
"Estafa", "timo", are the two I would use(first, estafa). They come from "estafar" and "timar", common verbs everywhere. "Engaño" can be too.

@Marsopa: "Scam" podría ser engaño, estafa, embuste, chisme, trampa, fraude... supongo que depende del contexto.
¿Chantaje? Sólo si "scam" es sinónimo de "blackmail". @ookami: Cierto, "chanchullo" es una palabra coloquial. No sé si sólo se usa en México.
