How many men who claim to be secret agents have you come across?

It seems to be a common theme amongst con artists or those who are married and have an extra family somewhere.

I've now heard of 3 or 4 guys who have very confusing and suspicious back stories and explain everything away as they work for intelligence services and can't possibly answer any questions about their whereabouts or why they're not contactable for long periods of time.

I'm surprised to have heard of so many mysterious men claiming to be secret agents. I've seen it a few times here as well - where someone is worried about a friend or relative having got involved with a guy who claims to be a secret agent.

I was wondering how common it is - if anyone else has met a man who's claimed he's a spy - or if a friend/relative has got involved with someone like this. I think it's loosely linked to the works on an oil rig and is uncontactable story which I have also heard of!

This happened to a friend of mine years ago , i never met him but smelt a rat straight away ! friend was totally taken in , i remember her telling me they were on a date and he said he was wired up, quite a few other really unbelievable things too.
She is an intelligent woman but a total disaster when picking men.
Until this thread i would not have believed any one else had ever experienced this !!

No secret agent, but met a guy in a club in London who pretended to be French. It went down like a lead balloon when he realised that I am fluent.

None... only on that tv programme based on a true story- Mrs Wilson
