One idea was to fake a job posting in the field and get people to send me their resumes and references. Then I'd take one of those people, let's say with the same first name, and pretend to be them when applying and use their references. That way the references would be legit, but it creates a bunch of other possible inconsistencies. Not least of which would be my different last name.

It's certainly very effective, but depending on the enquiries made, It may have an Impact on the given Individual.
