Ten years experience at 23 years old? I don't think so

The photo has nothing to do with the post.
A West Australian man has been charged with a number of offences as he has been posing as a psychologist and counselling clients when he has no qualifications whatsoever. A PhD from a Queensland university is a fake as is his Master’s degree.
But the part that made me laugh was the fact that he claims he has had ten years’ experience as a practising psychologist – but he is only 23! I think he needs a revisions in maths if he has ideas of being a con man.

@JudyEv a scamming devil is always cocky as if to show his confidence.

That's a clear case of fraud. Good that he has been caught. How did people become suspecios.

@jayanth_77 @rakski He has had a very light sentence I think. He has to do community service, there is a fine he has to pay which seems a very low figure and that's about it. I think he should have gone to jail. He doesn't seem the least bit remorseful.

Some con men just aren't that smart. He apparently fits into that category.

@JudyEv Con men usually don't change their ways. They just play the game. He may lay low for a while, then he'll just go somewhere else and start conning people all over again.

@DocAndersen That's true. A labourer is worthy of his hire and all that stuff.

@JudyEv it is a delicate balance, if you don't charge a lot in that profession people think you aren't well, real!

You hear about those people around. At least he wouldn't get in as much trouble as a pschologist, as opposed to those who pose as medical doctors or pilots!

@JudyEv Funny you brought up this topic because I was watching Catch Me IF You Can on TV.. The guy was brilliant, and was probably the most successful con man ever at a young age. Thank God he spent most of his adult life working for the FBI and now makes millions as a security expert, and preventing financial crimes.

Some people are able to get on with conning other people, even if things would otherwise be quite evident.

@LindaOHio Thanks. You have some lovely ones too. Just that you are used to yours but not to ours.

With the knowledge you can gain from the Internet these days I think it's possible to have 23 years experience at age 10.

I wonder why people do this. In this young man's case, I would think the claim of a PHD at 23 would be outrageous enough, though I understand it does happen, but 10 years experience? I think I would be calling in the police myself had he said that to me.
