As stated in the last post, affinity refers to a kinship or a shared group characteristic. A good example is an ethnic group. America is a nation of immigrants and as members of one ethnic group come to America, it is only natural that (usually) the members of this group will look up other members of their community that have already been here.
Offenders who commit affinity fraud are usually members of the group or people who pretend to be members of the group. This is a common way to gain entrance into the group. Usually, the next step is for these fraudsters to enlist a respected member of this community. The leaders of the community often have no idea that they are being set up.
NOTE - this thread is based on information from the article "Affinity is Only Skin Deep" by Frank S. Perry and Richard Brody in the March/April 2013 issue of Fraud magazine.
