Under the translation results for this site, I saw this as one of the definition examples "Me tienen por tonto - they think I'm stupid." I guess literally, they have me as a fool, or they take me for a fool.

I think it could also be used to say something you think about them, depends on the context.

As in saying: 'Me tienen harto/a', which would mean 'I'm sick of them.'

So whether you're referring to something you are saying about them or something they are saying about you depends on the rest of the sentence!
