Comedian and BAFTA Shortlisted Documentary Maker, who was one of the first major victims of Identity theft in the UK.
Award-Winning Comedian Bennett Arron was in serious debt. He owed thousands to phone companies, banks and department stores. Only it wasn’t him. Bennett had become the first major victim of Identity Theft in the UK. It left him penniless and homeless.
Years later, Bennett wrote, directed and presented a television Documentary on the subject. In the programme, which was critically acclaimed by all the major Press and described as ‘Fascinating and Disturbing’, Bennett proved the ease of Identity Theft by first stealing the identities of the general public and then stealing identity of the British Home Secretary.
