The victim of Frank Abagnale's first con at the age of fifteen was surprisingly his own father. He attained a bill of $3,400 on a gasoline card given to him by his father by buying car related items to spruce up his car. He went on to write personal checks on his overdrawn account, depositing fake payroll checks, and getting other people's deposits sent to his account instead. During this fraudulent period in his life, Abagnale impersonated an airplane pilot, teaching assistant, doctor, and an attorney. During the span of several captures and escapes, he ultimately served six months in French prison, six months in Swedish prison and four years in the United States prison.
