Benefit fraud hits record levels.
More fraudsters being caught and prosecuted.
It's important to remember that these are not victimless crimes - they are depriving important services of much needed money and who actually has to pick the tab up? We do - if you pay any sort of tax, such as VAT, fuel tax or income tax, you are paying for the actions of these thieves.
Councils rely on law-abiding people to be their eyes and ears to help crackdown on these criminals so, if you know of a benefit or council tax cheat, shop them.
To report a suspected fraud, call either the National Fraud Hotline on 0800 854 440 or the WWDC fraud section on 01225 770301 (both 24-hours and both will accept anonymous information).
