Well you could always ask to see a copy of the persons DD214. If they say they don't have one/never got one/"what's that?" they're a fraud. You can also request a copy of a persons DD214 from the National Archives, not sure how much it costs though. There's also mundane questions you can ask them like "what unit were you in in boot camp?", if that comes up with no answer of a sketchy one they could be a fraud.

Regardless of the other ways mentioned above there does need to be some form of punishment for crap like this. Life as a Trident sailor was boring and uneventful, but I don't feel the need to make crap up about my service. If you served, be proud that you served and did your job, not someone else's.
