Makes you imagine what other ploys people have resorted to. Just how far would someone go, I wonder? Sheesh.
I may have some of the details slightly awry but this is true and was in the Manchester Evening News a couple or more years ago.
A car belonging to a pair of solicitors was caught on camera for speeding, they denied either of them was driving and said it was a Polish chap who used to work for them at the time.
Trouble was they invented him, he didn't exist. The man even went to Poland and posted a postcard back from the imaginary ex employee and included a bit in it about "how much he'd enjoyed driving his bosses nice car".
The Police smelt a rat somehow, investigated it and then done 'em good and proper.
