Steps in a con game 16

Let's stick with the topic of allowing the investor to get some money for a minute.  Keep in mind that not all scams work this way.  For example, the infamous Nigerian 419 scam (sent out via email) does not actually pay off any money at all - it just keeps enticing the mark to send more and more money by using a greater variety of excuses for not paying each time.  The difference between the Nigerian 419 scam, however, and other scams, is that the 419 scam relies on many potential marks (remember from earlier posts that "phishing" emails are sent out by the hundreds of millions).

     For the most part, however, an fraudulent investor scheme will have to rely on having to pay the mark some money to get him interested and get him coming back to the table.  Only through this method can the mark begin to believe that the entire scheme is legitimate.
