Title: Benefit cheats
Post by spanishcatfishing on Mar 19th, 2009 at 8:36am
The British Government has started advertising on the internet about its new campaign to catch benefit cheats in Spain. They say they are closing in on benefit thieves wherever they are, and are working with the Spanish authorities.

A new UK Benefit Fraud hotline has been opened in Spain on 900 554 440 where calls are free and confidential.
They remind those on benefit that you are obliged to inform them if your circumstances change.

The British Government estimates that 93 million pounds were defrauded by benefit thieves going abroad in 2007/2008.

I should think all they need to do is check claimants names against regular monthly ryan air flyers, and I'm sure they will find more than a few that make a regular trip to sign on
