Steps in a con game 23

Well, there is one method left to ensure cooperation with a scam - the old fashioned threats.  It is not uncommon for victims of con games to find themselves the victims of threats if they do not "shut up."  This should not be a surprise - although the very definition of a con game is to use deception rather than violence, once the fraud is exposed, the victims of the fraud may find that the people who ran the fraud do not want it exposed.

     This does not happen all the time of course.  Once violence is threatened, then it is clear to even the most casual observer that a crime is being committed.  This kind of ending for a con game (the use of threats) is typically done when a mafia or criminal group is involved or the risk of exposure is too great.

     It is a sobering reminder that con games, in the end, are criminal enterprises.
