Imposter problem

spiker84 · February 02, 2012, 12:46:15 AM

HI everyone, I appoliogize if this is in the wrong place, but it seemed the most relevant. Anyways, I have a major problem with a kid at school, I told him about CAP to try to recruit him because he wants to be para-rescue. A few weeks later, I asked him if he had followed through with it and he said yes, and that he had already been promoted to Sergeant...first red flag, it had only been about 3 weeks. since then, everything that has come out of his mouth is a lie about CAP, every time I question him about an event (to further prove my point) he just goes like "uhhhhhh....i dont know" the squadron he claims doesnt exist, he doesnt even know what a CAPID is, he claimed he was with CAP at a rave doing undercover drug busts, he claimed he was rolling around the local base as patrol on a .50 cal mounted on a humvee.... I need to make this stop, not only is it infuriating to know people fake stuff like this, I feel what he says can threaten the organization. what do I say/do?

Let the tool be a tool. I know its tough, but just let it go. You won't change his mind.

Acknowledging the black vans only serves to breech OPSEC.
I am here to say "I cannot confirm or deny" such a program exists within this "three letter agency",...er...actually, I deny that such a thing exists.
and we are already tracking the kid....
Thanks

+1. There's a kid at school that used to salute me every time he saw me (sarcastically). At first I tried to tell him why he shouldn't he doing that... and he kept doing it. Then I just let it go, didn't respond, and now he's stopped the Bravo Sierra.

Now if you will all please look over here......I'm about to adminster the last test....an eye test.....[FLASH]

This reminds me of when I was a kid and was a Boy Scout. I made it to Life Scout, but I ran across another kid who claimed to be a Scout. I asked him what rank he'd achieved and he said "Eagle Badge" (sic).

Even at 11 years old my Bravo Sierra detector was pretty good.

So I asked him what merit badges and skill awards (back in my day they were like "merit badges lite" and were metal slides that went on your belt) he'd earned and he said "all of them."

I thought, "this is gonna be fun."

I could be a rotten little so-and-so back in those days (if my dad were still living, he could give plenty of supporting evidence).

So I pressed this kid on the Scout Law, all the Scout ranks in order...I asked him if he had "Bowling," "Rodeo," and other fictitious merit badges, how long he'd had his Totin' Chip card...

Eventually the kid told me I asked too many questions and left.

My wife says I have the perfect poker face but it was hard not to bust a gut laughing at some of this guy's answers.

You should tell him that, as an undercover CAP member with a mission to weed out potential spies in our organization, you have informed "the company" of his claims, and that CAP Special Forces will be coming to interview him in a few days. When he sees the black van roll up to his front door, he should move slowly and keep his hands visible. Until then, he should not leave the state and avoid talking to unfamiliar people.

Fire with fire, dude.
