After Dinner SpeakersAward-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 was asked to write, direct and present a Channel 4 Documentary on the subject.
The programme, ‘How To Steal An Identity’, was chosen as ‘Pick of the Week’ in all the major Press. It was described as ‘Fascinating and Disturbing’.
In the programme, Bennett proved the ease of the crime by first stealing the identities of the general public and then stealing the identity of the British Home Secretary. As a result of the programme, the UK Driving Licence Application Form had to be reprinted – and Bennett was shortlisted for a BAFTA.
“Your presentation was so funny…everybody loved you”

Bennett now speaks worldwide at conferences, expos and corporate events on identity theft, fraud and cyber security.
In addition, Bennett also speaks to management and staff at various companies to warn them, humorously and memorably, about the dangers of phishing, vishing, smishing, etc.
He also writes and presents in-house videos on the subject, which have proven incredibly successful in conveying the message without preaching or scaring.
“Perfect subject matter for our conference. Funny, engaging, educational and terrifying!”
