Someone Used a Photo of Jim from “The Office” on a Fake ID to Commit Unemployment Fraud

Jim from “The Office” looks like an everyday working guy, so maybe that’s why someone thought he’d be a perfect model for his unemployment scheme.

A guy in Michigan reportedly photoshopped a photo of JOHN KRASINSKI on a driver’s license in an effort to steal unemployment benefits.  It didn’t work.  The face swap was quickly flagged, and the guy’s claim was denied.
