Affinity Fraud V

It can be seen from the previous posts that affinity fraud works much like other fraud with the defining characteristic of working within a group (normally a close-knit group).  Breaking affinity fraud, however, creates some special issues.

     First, because the fraud occurs within a close-knit group, it is difficult to get within the group.  The group dynamics usually means that there is an issue in dealing with outsiders, if not outright distrust.  In breaking affinity fraud, therefore, the main issue at first is to convince the group members to work with outsiders.
