My apologies for not posting yesterday, but once again ran into internet connection problems. One of these days I really need to look into my ISP.
So - we are talking about the Badger Game (or badger fraud), one of the oldest (if not the oldest) type of fraud in existence. A person is placed in a compromising position (usually, but not always, sexual), has pictures taken (surreptitiously) in this compromising position and is threatened with having these pictures published if money is not paid.
How does one avoid this fraud? Well, the easiest answer (and the most glib) is simply not to have an affair or do something that can end up in a compromising position in the first place. However, it is important to remember that if this does happen, it is a crime, pure and simple. If someone is threatening blackmail, then this person is committing a crime and a crime which, in many districts and jurisdictions is an aggravated felony and a crime involving moral turpitude.
More on this later.
