I've encountered a fake candidate before (recruiter with a fake linkedin profile applying for jobs to scope out the market and build contact lists). I don't think they went as far as actually turning up to anyone's interview of course. This particular person claimed to have worked as a senior developer in our team. Someone contacted them to ask who they were, they apologized and removed the linkedin profile. We were originally tipped off by another recruiter who had received the fake candidate's profile for one of their jobs.
