Fraudsters who perpetuate affinity fraud use the emotional bonds between the group members to help advance the fraud. Remember, it is the bonds between the group members that make the group special in the first place. A good fraudster knows how to take advantage of these bonds.
Fraudsters move the affinity fraud forward with the group by several means. Among them are:
1. telling the group members that reporting the frauds will prohibit any possible returns on the investment;
2. persuading investigators not to cooperate with investigations by referring to signed confidentiality agreements.
