I had a recruiter who did this once. He got me 30% over market rate by telling the company I was a senior engineer whom he had known for years.

As someone who had graduated from uni about a year earlier, I had a very bewildering year at the company.

Hahaha that's awesome. Thanks for sharing!

It was not awesome. Strongly do not recommend.

Maybe not as an experience, but it seems worthy of that as a story.

It was too confusing for me to craft a clear story.
