The phrase translates to "false pretenses," and usually means someone making a deal or acting under the disguise of good or innocent intentions when they really have ulterior motives.

Example: "Jenny was told the apartment would be available in March, but she later found out it wouldn't be available until April.  The agent had urged her to sign the lease under false pretenses."
