Steps in a con game 22

Well, Roman numerals or not, it looks like I forgot how to count.  I put step 21 in twice, so although this should be step 23, to avoid confusing things even further, we'll just leave it at 22.  

     There are three basic ways at this stage of the game how the con artist handles the calls coming in from the mark, complaining that he is not getting any response to questions about his money.

    The easiest way for the con artist to deal with this is simply to ignore the situation.  Refuse to return phone calls, or simply pretend they don't exist.  This only works for some time, however.

     The second method is to lie about everything.  Yes, your money is fine.  Ignore the reports from the SEC or other government agencies.  Ignore the reports from ratings agencies about your investments.  Ignore the fact that you cannot find any hard data concerning the investments.  Ignore the advice from other financial investment professionals advising you to get out.

   When these do not work, the third option is always available.
