I met Frank Abagnale Jr. Every bit as fascinating as the movie portrayed him.

7-11 hired a guy who used to rob 7-11's as a anti theft consultant, and AT&T hired a guy to work in the toll side to check frequencies as he very ably could mimick the tones to make free long distance calls on pay phones.

I could not believe what he got away with.. I am glad he does work for the government. The film was so good… it was the best cast everyone was great in there roles. I like Leo and Tom they both love to act I hope they star together again.

There was a movie made in the 60s, with Tony Curtis, base on the same story line.

Uninitialized, it wasn't the government. It was a man who... I in his shoes would have done the same thing. It takes a criminal to know a criminal.

Thrre was also a film in the late 50s or early 60s named,, THE GREAT IMPOSTER with Tony Curtis that I believe was his story.
