Seems OK to me. *1 minute of research* The internets (wikipedia) call what you mean the Greek gift sacrifice. A Greek gift is a gift given with the intention of tricking and causing harm to the recipient (collinsdictionary), a treacherous gift (wiktionary), deriving from I fear the Greeks even [when they are] bringing gifts (Aeneid).

It's an interesting point Adam, but did your one minute of research extend to the first part of this page?
It's still a Greek gift in general terms, even if not the chess standard Bx
