诈

zhà

to cheat

to swindle; to pretend; to feign; to draw sb out; to try to extract information by deceit or bluff

speech (讠) + [sound: zhà] (乍) = fraudulent words

The speech radical carries the meaning: deceptive or false words. 乍 mainly contributes the sound zhà and does not add to the semantic layer here.
