Ratting on benefit cheats

If you honestly believe that this person is receiving benefits they aren't entitled to then call the hot line now....:mad:
I also watched an episode of saints and scroungers and couldn't believe how easy it is to cheat the system.
It all comes out of our back pockets so the more the schemers/scroungers get caught , and hopefully punished but won't hold my breath, the better.0 -
Just shop them in. Then don't give a second thought.
The people that fraud the system don't give two hoots about anything or how anyone else feels. Why should you?
If they are claiming wrongly, they are busted, if they are not, they will carry on claiming. We already have one example of someone on this thread who was accused, no issue found so they carry on. Whats the problem.
Shop 'em in and do us all a favour.
D70How about no longer being masochistic?
How about remembering your divinity?
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How about not equating death with stopping?0 -

Thanks for the link.
Have just reported the residents of SW1A 1AA. Won't hold my breath though to see if any action is taken against them0 -
i know 2 people from the same family they claim everything under the sun. They say they are seperated but live together. He is on JSA she income support and they have 2 kiddies. They also both work him more than one job:eek:. They drive around in a new car and she preaches to everyone else as if butter wouldnt melt:A. Im not jealous i couldnt live my life looking over my shoulder but im sick of my husband and i both out working and we have 3 children to pay for their benefits:mad:0

@OP......
You say that the fact you dont like them has nothing to do with it but would you report someone ffrom your own family or group of friends if they were doing the same ( hypothetically speaking so answers of they wouldnt do that are not needed) not having a dig, just genuinely interested.
IMO peoples feelings of dislike towards people cloud their judgement. Whereas a blind eye "might" be turned if feeling endeared to the culprit.0 -

well you see im not close to my family parents etc and the people in question is a step sister and her partner:( so cant really answer your question because i dont love the bones off any of them. :(Difficult child hood etc. But dont get me wrong i understand 100% where you are coming from. I wont report them nor would i report a stranger so better words would have been that i would love to have the guts to report them however im just not the type that would:( but fair play to those that do report benefit cheats:)
ready to get shot down now:(0 -
I don't think there is any reason for you to be shot down hun, everyone has thier opinion and it grips my poopoo that people have to argue and tell others they are wrong. For example - I would never report anyone ever of benefit fraud because thats just me. I have heard all the opinions of others on the fact and I am not saying they are wrong or right but it's just not something I would do.0
