    no really i couldn't do it as much as she bugs the granny out of me , its not fair on her children, who incidently are both little *******

    People cheating the benefits system means there is less money to go round for those who genuinely need. Do you think it is fair for your children to go without treats because benefits levels have to be set low because of cheaters?

    someone from the bebifits has been round to her house before so i think they may be suspicious but she is 24 and her boyfriend is 58 so she just calls him DAD when officail people are in her house
  • Regardless of wether here is a payout for telling of someone , the fact remains it just isnt right and it needs to stop so others can benifit from the funds that are lost to these fraudsters !!

    BTW if this woman does have £70k in the bank she WILL get found out as the government and inland revenue do checks on accounts etc but then again she might just be saying it to make herself look good.
    If you know someone who is committing fraud then you should report it, without sounding harsh or rude there is no point moaning if your not prepared to do anything about it, but anyways as the post in the link says this forum is about asking for help not discussing the benefits system etc.
