More Con Games 5

So - back on track.

     We are talking about the fraud of blackmail - the use of a threat to avoid being exposed to some sort of scandal or worse.  This is the stereotypical blackmail scheme.

      As stated in an earlier post, this is a crime, pure and simple.  When threatened with blackmail, it is necessary to find an attorney immediately to work out a way to disclose this to the proper authorities (whether local, state or federal).  If a person goes along with a blackmail scheme, then not only is the person literally "digging" himself into a worse situation, by going along with the scheme, the person is also in danger of being a co-conspirator in a blackmail scheme as well.  Further, once the initial demands of blackmailers are met, then the situation arises that violence may be used in the future to force compliance.

     It is critical, therefore, to seek legal counsel immediately if such a situation occurs.  It is the best way to ensure that the person will work with legal authorities to not only cut off the blackmail, but avoid criminal charges.
