ricgem2002 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i wonder why they dont have a benefits and expences fraud line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The only people who dislike "grasses" are criminals. Benefit fraudsters are the lowest form of scum. Nah, our thieving Politicians {£65 grand a year, PLUS expenses} are the lowest form of scum. Most benefit "fraudsters" are just trying to get by. Angel.

Ghostrider Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Report them - if they are notdishonestly claiming, they have nothing to worry about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If somebody in the local economy is cheating the national system, it is actually benefiting the local economy. Say 10 people claim £100/week fraudulently. That's £1000/week to the local economy. That is an honest man's job. You could be putting a decent man out of work. Real wealth comes from trade and production. Anything that encourages trade/production is a good thing. Be it benefit fraud or avoiding tax. Just a thought... Ask a banker?? they know about the ins and outs of high level fraud. Corporate fraud is committed every day and wer'e bothered about some geezer down the pub. What small lives some people lead.

rothschild Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yes shop them .But beware if there is a court case you will probably have to go to court as a witness and your name and adress will become known to everybody. You will then be known in your area as a grass . I am sure you you are of strong princables and to be true to yourself you must report them . Good luck Rubbish.........you can do it on-line and be totally annonymous. You can also ring annonymously.............this is what the benefit fraud team rely on.

cardoor Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Report them - if they are notdishonestly claiming, they have nothing to worry about... But they will have something to worry about, as the benefits system is such a huge minefield of complexities and bureaucracy its impossible to say who is a cheat and who isn’t. But for argument sake let’s supposing someone gets a few extra quid for swinging the lead, what’s the big deal? How personally will it benefit you?

denlin Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It will benefit all of us because it's not just the odd one is it and it all comes out of the taxes/NI of those who are working and it's wrong and needs addressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Actually no. I put possibly because i didnt want the thread deleted on some legality so i put in possibly. Thanks for the clarity. What illness has his doctor verified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks for the clarity. What illness has his doctor verified? Is there a reason why you think this is relevant? Surely it is up to the benefits investigators to establish if the person who has been reported is claiming fraudulently. I'd hate to think anyone who is genuinely in need is being deprived of help because the money is going to people like these: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8665537/Ten-outrageous-sick-leave-and-disability-benefits-claims.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggle Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My brother is a joiner and sometimes works for a contractor who employs another bloke for cash in hand, This bloke drives a new BMW, drips in gold, and has three holidays abroad every year, all thanks to the benefits he claims. Still my brother wont report him, even though he is stuggling for work himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
