So - when will a sex distraction be used in a white collar fraud scam?
After all, a white collar fraud investment scam (i.e. getting the mark to invest in a pyramid scheme or not do all of the checks necessary to determine if an investment is legitimate) is not like a 3-card monty or some kind of street scam where there may be a sexy lady in a miniskirt diverting the marks attention? Right?
Well, look at it this way. When determining whether to make such an investment, who is more likely to get the attention of the average male? The young, attractive woman or the balding, middle aged guy? It's a basic question, of course. And this does not mean that every attractive woman attempting to sell an investment is a con artist. Far from it.
The real key, however, is not whether the attractive person is attempting to sell the mark an investment scheme. The real key is: is the attractive person being used to create a diversion?
