unfairly being interviewed for benefit fraud
Comments

There is absolutely no such thing as a cash reward, of any amount, when reporting someone for benefit fraud.
Perhaps you could google it yourself and provide a link - either that or PM me with the details of the person or jobcentre who gave you this completely incorrect informationDontknowanymore wrote: »In other words, you are chatting doo doo
Of course she is. She makes a hoo ha over posting the details of a the benefit office (just the name of the office and not the officer) on the INTERNET *the horror!*. Of course, she is forgetting she could have PM'd it. Anyway, there is absolutely no 'bonus' offered for reporting a benefit cheat.
Whoo, great to see the saddo keyboard warriors are out in force here.
The OP merely stated something she was told. She didn't make the claim herself, she didn't try and back it up. She merely repeated it.
Given that there's already an issue with someone making false allegations about her, is it any wonder she doesn't want to post ANY details of location on the internet at all. It only takes one troublemaker to phone up the benefits office and start saying things about "the woman who was in for an interview on 14th".0 -

OP
look on the bright side,if yr youngest is 4 you will soon be able to get a job and provide for them yourself, then you won't have to be explaining all facets of your life to the people who have kept your kids fed and clothed for the past years.
Win Win
yeah, suppose, but its 4 years well spent on making sure my children never speak to people like you.
You've made it very clear that you wouldnt spit on my children if they were on fire so forgive me for not thanking you for your very kind "contribution".

I wouldn't dream of blaming the kids for what their parents get up to.
Thank god there IS a benefit system, or you'd have had to stop at one kid, and have 4 or 5 part time jobs to feed and clothe them.When your life is a mess, stop and think what you are doing before bringing more kids into it, it's not fair on them.

and the digs continue....
..... pulling teeth. I give up, you win
but if you could do me the curtesy of not pulling me to absolute pieces anymore, that would be very humane of you.
spit the pieces out when you're done.0 -

You didn't come across well, the other poster didn't come across well either.
It's the internet. Don't let it bother you, move on

If you want that debate, go to DT.

Have a read of the top sticky about posting on the Benefits board where one of the forum mods state:
"ALWAYS BE NICE TO OTHER MONEYSAVERS. The corollary to this is, if you cannot engage in polite discussion, however passionately you feel, then do not post."0 -
