OMG!
The interview at the job centre......was for benefit fraud :eek:
Apparently someone is claiming child benefit but that the child lives at mine :mad:
The lady could tell I was telling the truth and had no idea about what she was talking about, but it was very scary!
The interview was like the ones off the advert on TV :eek:
