Well if you've been offered something too good to be true, We've all been a victim of a con and now we have the chance to go inside the minds of some of the world's most infamous tricksters and cheats. Science is giving us a look at City Stream, finds out more in its original series. Inside the mind of a con artist check it out surveyed a woman who was homeless and her name was Rebecca Hickey And I made a birth certificate for a child that was 10 months old. Put it together, walked in. It was perfect. Social Security gave it to her. She looked it over. But as she was talking, I remember thinking Rebecca doesn't sound like a baby, like the name. Rebecca doesn't sound like a baby. And I thought, what's a baby name for Rebecca? She said, where's the mother? I'd like to think that she's in a drug rehab somewhere, but she may be in jail. All I know is that baby Becca and I haven't seen her in six months. And as soon as I said, Baby Becca, I remember thinking, where did you come up with baby Becca? And I started to laugh and I went, I remember sitting there going and she thought I was crying and I remember telling myself, pull yourself together bro, what are you doing? There's like a sheriff in the back, it's Social Security, what are you doing? And so I remember going, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And she goes, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. I have to ask. And I said, okay, I'm sorry, It's fine. Hold on. She went on the computer. She looked, you're right. She's never had a social security number issue. Hold on. Okay done. You'll have it in 10 days. She gave me my documents. I left 10 days later I got a social security number or uh Rebecca Hickey. I had the real Rebecca Hickey's birth certificate. So I combine those two together. I order her certified copy of her high school transcripts plus registered to vote in her name. I get a voter's registration card and I send my girlfriend into the D. M. V. Driver's license. How did you feel as you walked out of the social security office felt great. Listen, there's, it's like, it's like there's no better feeling in the world than Walking into like Bank of America handing them a fake w. two fake canceled checks, fake driver's license, have them pull your credit on some guy that is a complete synthetic identity and then sign the papers for a loan. Have them hand you a check for $250,000 and thank you for ripping them off. You've been one of the best customers I've ever worked with. Thank you very much and walked straight out of the bank.
