[LRUG] [RECRUITERS] Beware of job applications from "Marc Davies"

[Sleepyfox]

Don't be so quick to assume it's an evil (or otherwise) recruiter, I've got
anecdotal evidence of identity fraud in the IT space by an 'applicant'
going to interviews, getting a job offer, signing and getting back their
countersigned employment contract, then using that as collateral to build a
fake ID and then disappearing completely (presumably on to making the next
new identity).
