To form or become covered by a scab, as of a wound. That scrape is scabbing over so it can heal, but it can't do that if you keep picking at it! You need to apply pressure to stop the blood from flowing so fast, or else the cut will never be able to scab over.

To get cheated or duped; to be ripped off or made the victim of fraud. The car started having issues just a couple days after I bought it, so I started to worry that I might have gotten scabbed by the guy who sold it to me. My cousin got scabbed in a drug deal gone bad, and now he owes the mob nearly $200,000.
