Fob off

"The company tried to fob us off with a partial refund even though we were eligible for a full refund."

I'm looking for a verb that would convey the same meaning as 'fob off' but that would be more formal.

I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thank you! Emotion: smile

Try "persuade/convince us to accept" or "placate us with".
