A person relied on another person's statement if: the false statement, concealment, or false promise substantially influenced him or her to act in a certain way; and he or she would probably have not done so without the false statement, concealment, or false promise. Reliance requires that the victim show he or she would not have "gone along with it" except for the defendant's conduct of lying and false statement of facts. However, the false statement does not have to be the only reason for the reliance. If multiple true statements were made and an important false one ("half-truth"), it is permissible for a person to rely on both the true statements and the false statements in making a decision to rely upon.
