Aren't background checks that include verification of past employment and educational history the norm for North America-based businesses for candidates that have gotten to the on-boarding stage? I'd have thought it would be difficult for a fake candidate to get past those.

Sure, but what we're talking about is working with consulting companies and agencies who are assumed to have done their own vetting of their employees, and are representing the skills of those employees accurately to the companies that contract with them.

I've seen 30 - 60 - 90 day reviews and seen people let go in that timeframe. Is that not a thing in the US ?

Of course it is, but what does this have to do with someone else showing up for day 1 rather than the person who interviewed?
