just phoned benefit fraud line to report my son's friend's mum.

[foogle]

I have sat on the info for ages and didn't do anything except get angrier and angrier.

For christmas son's friend got a pony, bmx bike, x box, ipod and family ski trip.

My son got a second hand lego set as that is all we could afford this year.

Son's friend gets free school meals and all school trips paid for.

We can't afford school dinners and scrimp and save for son to go on school trips.

Son's friend's dad lives with them and works but I know she claims benefits as a single mum.

She earns £25 an hour cash in hand at a racing stables.

She gets everything paid for, including housing benefit etc.

We can't afford ponies nor lessons yet she has 2 competition horses.

I never thought I 'd do this as she's a nice person but I've had enough.

Do you know how old this thread is?

Why do people keep bumping zombie threads? I've just wasted so much time reading this before I saw the date

what is with this invasion of new people bumping threads that are YEARS OLD to tell us off

serious Z~O~M~B~I~E~T~H~R~E~A~D FFS

Yeeeeeees!!!! Well done you!! 🎯

Oh ffs!! See what you mean...zzzzzz

Read today someone has been sent to prison for years for benefit fraud. She had £180k in the bank and lived on the King's road in Chelsea.

Oops. Sorry.

Well I hope you feel better for having got that off your chest Sugar510

I'll direct you to your own advice and tell you to get on with your life, instead of posting self-righteous bullshit on a thread which is four fucking years old

Good for you!

Do fraud teams actually exist and do they actually investigate people? Has anyone here ever been investigated for benefit fraud even if they were innocent?

Like we give a shit what you think sugar.

Every time a thread goes viral, new people register and bump old threads. So fudging annoying. Can't MNHQ lock them unless the original OP comes back and asks to update it or something!

Fudging! No, fucking annoying.

It's not fair and I would be fuming too.

Durr. Zombie!

So what happened?

A new person came to MN (maybe attracted by Daily Mail tread-pinching) and searched 'benefit fraud' to find something to comment on?

My message to all of you is "to get on with your own lives".

Everyone has been for the last 4 years.

I would do the same. If she was doing a bit of cleaning on the side to make ends meet I'd keep quiet.
I know someone who on paper has exactly the same income as myself, yet can afford to live the high life and has a second ( secret) income.
I'm not going to grass on her as I know the consequences could be injurious to me.

This thread is 4 years old

I agree that benefit fraud isn't a great thing to do and it's dishonest, but I wouldn't have reported it.

I don't understand why people get so upset and jealous when friends have more more than them. I know lots of people with more money than me, but it doesn't affect my life unless I let it and let negative emotions get the better of me. Money doesn't equal happiness.

What an absolute pile of horse shit.

Need to be a bit more subtle next OP.

Doh. It's a Zombie and a troll.
