After Dinner SpeakersBennett Arron is an award-winning comedian and keynote speaker on identity theft, fraud and cybersecurity, combining humour with powerful real-life insights.
Bennett 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 how easy the crime was by first stealing the identities of ordinary people and then the identity of the British Home Secretary.
As a result of his 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”
