Okay, the latest saga in the Josie Cunningham (you may wish to read the previous thread here http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=288920&highlight=josie+cunningham) story is that the person she thought was the father of her baby she also thought was a premiership footballer. Apparently she googled pics of him after their fling and was still convinced it was him.
Now, I'm not really concerned with her, but it made me wonder if, in this day and age, is it really that easy to prove or disprove someone's identity? Especially someone who is supposedly in the public eye?
How hard or easy is it to convince someone that you are or are not who you say you are? I mean, convincing someone that you have a different identity is one thing, but an identity which would be easy enough to prove with a few clicks of a mouse or a phone call? I'm just not sure.
The story has holes all over it and I'm just wondering how that innocent guy feels having his name dragged into all this.
