Distractions and Diversions 5

OK - back to reality

     So, in the last post, we asked if the attractive person was being used to distract you from the actual investment.  This is nothing more than playing the "3 card monte" game on a boardwalk and having the huckster employ a pretty woman to distract the person playing (usually the pretty woman is a confederate). 

     But, for "serious" investments, it may be obvious for a so-called "financial advisor" to employ an attractive woman.  But, attraction is carried by many different devices.

     One of the more common tactics of a scam artist/scam investment counselor is to continually try and distract the investor with the promises of returns rather than focus on the actual mechanism of the returns themselves.  In this case, the "attractor" is the promise of the high rate of returns which is used to distract the investor from the way the returns are supposed to be made.  A good, and real, investment counselor will want his clients to know how the returns are being made rather than future rate of returns.
