There are any number of cases of someone pretending to be a former military officer, usually highly decorated, a doctor, or a lawyer.

The latest involves one Mauricio Celis who claimed to be a lawyer.

He finally claimed to be a lawyer in Mexico but that was not true either. Now he is up for money laundering charges.But this was after owning a law firm in Corpus Christi.

This is why auditors should maintain  professional skepticism in the face of potential bogus claims.
