Possible benefit form scam

If anyone recieves a letter from 'Benefits Integrity Office' in Chelmsford's JobCentre Plus, in Essex, please be careful.

This appears to be some sort of scam to obtain bank details of those recieving certain benefits.

Before completing any sort of form like this, contact the office paying your benefit (this will be shown on award letters), to ensure it's genuine.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    This was mentioned on another forum I post on. Someone told me it was a real form, based on the persons' NINO being correct.
