I just about started it, the cheat had been found.

The cheat had been found right on the time I just had it started.

I got caught right on the time I just started the cheat.
"Chưa kịp lừa" cũng có nghĩa là chưa thực hiện ý định thì làm sao bị "phát hiện" ta ?
My version:

I got caught red handed when my swindling scheme was in progress.

A beautiful girl made acquaintance with me when I had just entered the forum.

I got threatened by that girl's lover when I had walked in the public meeting place.

Hope this would help.
