"É golpe purinho" = tá na cara que é golpe; é golpe com certeza.
"Ela é golpe purinho" = ela é certamente golpista.

@L_Tradutor Would “golpe” be something like “trouble” in the context of a relationship? For example, a guy tells another guy that he's seeing a girl, then the other guy says: “toma cuidado porque essa garota é golpe purinho”. Does he mean something like “watch out for this girl because she's trouble”?

Yes, @FunAndLoving . In the context of a relationship, that's probably what the guy meant by "Toma cuidado porque essa garota é golpe purinho" - that she's trouble.

Golpe for me is not just "trouble", it’s more like someone who doesn’t really love you, who is pretending to but has other interests (something like a gold digger but not necesserily for money).
Also, it could be someone who looks like a great partner but is really a bad one, maybe a controller, who is always arguing, and dating her would be something you regret (because Um golpe means a scam in portuguese, something that looks attractive but it’s a bad deal).

@joaopeloso2 I guess they two are pretty similar then because this description you gave perfectly matches the meaning of “being trouble”.
“Being trouble” in a negative sense means that, despite being attractive and seeming interesting, a person wouldn't make a good partner. It could be that they lack commitment and aren't interested in a serious long-term relationship, even though they might act so. Or it could be that they have a very bold/dominant personality in a way that you wouldn't be able to say no to them, and end up doing things you wouldn't like to make them happy. Or it could be that they're problematic or involved with bad stuff, and inclined to bring problems/drama into your life.

@FunAndLoving Oh I did’t know! I thought being trouble was just someone that is always in trouble hahah. It’s the same thing then :)
