In this particular case, the fraudster was detected because the person handling the interview was also involved with the person on their actual work day. But how many large corporations have an impersonal interview process handled by HR, while during their regular work they become a cog in a machine that nobody notices? The best defense against this sort of fraud is clearly to have a human, humanised work environment where people are seen and appreciated, where candidates are interviewed by their team mates, etc. I've been in an interview process where we played a game with my future team mates: everybody tells 2 truths and 1 lie about themselves, and the others have to guess which is which. It's fun, you get to know each other, it's memorable, and any fraudster like this will be immediately spotted on their first day.
