We all want to find our identity. To capitalize on it. For some, it can take a lifetime. For others, mere seconds. Even if it doesn't belong to them.

There is a subreddit called r/ActLikeYouBelong and it has 520K members. Why so many, you ask? It shares stories, pictures, and videos of people pretending to be someone they're not!

From a man posing as a delivery driver and stealing beer to a girl faking her way into a music festival as a photographer, you'll be surprised how many of these evil geniuses get away with it, too.

When it comes to inventing or borrowing an identity, I usually think of Frank Abagnale, the guy whose life inspired Catch Me If You Can. But for this article, I decided to dig a little deeper. And I'm glad I did. There have been plenty of fraudsters who have pulled off remarkable stunts and lived to tell the tale.

Take Perkin Warbeck for example. Chances are, you've never even heard of him. But Warbeck was the perpetrator of one of the most audacious cases of identity theft in history.

Nowadays, enterprises face real challenges, as sophisticated con men utilize stolen identities to access secure accounts or defraud victims of their finances. But Warbeck was way more ambitious. He was aiming at the ultimate target — the British throne.

In the late 15th century, supporters of the deposed Richard III of York persuaded a naive young Warbeck to assume a new identity. The Yorkist loyalists transformed him to become Richard, Duke of York, and true heir apparent to the throne. Beneath this guise, Warbeck began gathering forces to take the throne from the Tudor King Henry VII.

The ruse was eventually doomed and Warbeck ended up in captivity, but not before his deceit had raised an army of 6,000 men and gathered the support of many European royals of the era. 

Some see Warbeck as a stooge of more nefarious minds, however, his story proves that given the right circumstances, identity fraud can get you a long way.

As for Perkin Warbeck, he was hanged in 1499 after a failed attempt to escape.

Martin Guerre is also worthy of a mention. He was born a French peasant, married Bertrande, the daughter of a well-to-do family, and after eight years together they had a child. At some point during their marriage, Martin was accused of stealing grain from his father and fled town and his family in 1548, never to be seen again.

That is, until a man named Arnaud du Tilh walked into town and up to Bertrande, claiming to be her husband and father of their child.

ADVERTISEMENT

Bertrande was super happy and convinced that her husband had returned. Arnaud had such a striking resemblance to the real Martin Guerre; even his four sisters believed he was truly home.

Daron Malakian (Guitarist Of System Of A Down) Pretending To Be A Random Fan And Telling A Magazine How Great The Band Is (1999)

Mennyt Report

“Martin Guerre”, aka Arnaud du Tilh, lived three years with Bertrande and her son, even having a child together. The townspeople, however, remained suspicious. Eventually, they had raised so much fuss, there was a trial against the imposter after “Martin Guerre” tried to claim an inheritance from his newly deceased father.

The sentence was passed down, but Arnaud du Tilh appealed the verdict and almost convinced the court of his innocence. However, at the very last moment, the real Martin Guerre emerged with a wooden leg and forgotten knowledge of the past.

In the end, Bertrande and Martin’s four sisters attested that it was truly him, and Arnaud du Tilh was sentenced to death by hanging for adultery and fraud in 1560.

The middle ages were wild!

I put a plastic cover over the ground, installed a ladder and put on painting overalls. The mural is on a trail connecting two neighbourhoods so there were frequent passerby, people walking dogs, etc.. I basically ignored them and kept working calmly. Only one dude tried to call my bluff. He shouted something like ‘hey stop, what are you doing?’, but i didn’t look up and only turned around a few seconds later to pick up a different color, so he assumed i was legit.

Don't do this --> find local event staffing company that does all the big events in your area. Find out what they wear (hint it's usually black pants and some color polo.) Dress the same for free access to concerts, football games etc. Since the venue is hiring a larg number of people through a staffing agency they won't know who you are or if you belong or not. Most employees don't even know the other employees. I never did this, never knew other college kids that did this. It has definitely never worked.

I support this tactic - as a secretary I was always in meetings to take minutes and I absolutely hated it! Finally someone else took that over and I didn’t have to anymore. It was bliss until I became last-to-know everything. Being in every meeting you can be is a good thing. It keeps you knowledgeable and makes you visible and relevant to those who have the power to promote or dismiss you.

For less effort you can buy them off ebay. My daughter had joint 13th birthday party at a large events building. We thought the best way to keep track of the guests was to give them ID bracelets. Not only did it give the bouncers (Mums) a fighting chance of only allowing the invited teenagers into the party, it also meant it was easy to spot the ones that were up to no good outside in dimly lit corners! Probably one of the best £5 I ever spent.

How To Attend E3 For Free Without Really Trying.

How To Attend E3 For Free Without Really Trying.

A few days before E3 we did some research on what the food/drink set up would be like. And decided that going in dressed as bartenders/general help would be the best route. We had most of the clothes, and a friend of mine loaned us the aprons.
 
Once we were inside we found out what the name of the catering service, and used that information to get a lady at a information booth to walk us through security. Unsurprisingly enough, a lady from a conference room asked to place an order with us, we took it and went to a kitchen nearby and gave the order to the kitchen manager. She questioned us a bit on who we were, but we didn't break. Gave her our middle names in place of our first names (didn't want to lie too much, I know weird) and went on our way. We tried to get into the Sony/Nintendo room, but was denied entry due to lack of conference badges, and almost got kicked out.
 
We almost gave up, but decided to go back the way we initially entered. Once we were back on the main floor, we figured why not try to get into the main conference room with Microsoft, Activision, Ubisoft, etc. If we couldn't, we still had a great time. So we monitored the door and saw that out every five people entering the main room, only one person's badge was getting scanned. So we casually got into a crowd of people and walked in. It was an amazing feeling being surrounded by the sets for games like Marvel vs. Capcom to Shadow of War. But most importantly we got to see the Destiny 2 set up and watch a bunch of gameplay. The best thing about all of this was getting to go on a fun/risky trip with one of my best friends and it only cost us a parking fee of $4 to attend E3 for free.
