Affinity Fraud is a phrase that is used when scammers rely on a common bond to support the scam. For example, Affinity Fraud is seen when a scammer uses race, ethnicity, religion, professional or age-related groups to target victims. For example, the scam artist that knows his victim is religious will generally use phrases that demonstrate his same religious beliefs; this is done to simply gain the trust of the victim.
