Just heard that a neighbour who is screwing the dole but also lives with her new boyfriend ( and who also run a pub together on the side) have just bought a new Staffy to breed !!
I am so p***** off with them !!! 
Some people are just complete a*seholes  

sorry for the language but some people really annoy me !!! 

why is it that dogs have to suffer to make a few quid for some idiots ??!! :(

Have they bought a puppy, or a young dog already at the breeding age.
I understand why your so annoyed :(

well they have never worked in their lives except to screw the dole ( and to work on the side ) :(
and now I have heard that because staffys sell for a decent price per pup they are going to breed them - they know sweet F A about them mind you :(
the only dog they have ever had is a lab cross - which they couldnt be bothered to take out when they had it
sorry but they have annoyed the he** out of me :(

Report them, then offer to take the Staffy for them!

Ring the fraud hotline. They make me angry too. Why is it so easy for idiots to get dogs while responsible people jump through hoops for the chance to clean up their mistakes and give a dog a decent life?

Hit 'em where it hurts and report them for the benefits fraud. Probably won't help the dogs :( but it might make you feel a bit better ;)

Let us know if anything is done as when they were doing the big ads about stopping people claiming I reported aneighbour who was working and claiming and they never did anything.

unfortunately i need her surname as hers is different to that of the kids :(

Hi Mary,. Its not as simple as you may think in fraud, Most of the employers know that they are employing claimants and its cheap labour for them, consequently they deny employment and unless actually caught red handed so to speak.

Depends where you live too the senior manager in our area has decided to centralize all investigations 50 miles+ away from our office(one reason I am glad I'm no longer involved in want is now known as CFIS-Counter Fraud)I had a "regional"person investigating a customer(current terminology for people who claim benefits)want to sit in on one of my benefit interviews so they could ID the person later IF it was the person they had seen working. As my interviewing can include very personal questions about the person's sex life I advised my customer to decline(which they have the right to do)the fraud officer being a man & the girl concerned being a rape/incest victim aged 16 who had given birth a couple of weeks earlier & had alleged been working in a pub the day she had her baby !!!! Turned out the investigator had been watching the wrong person(not on benefit)in the wrong street in the wrong town !!!!!there wasn't even a pub by the same name with 25 miles !!!

However if they are defrauding the DWP(Dept for Work & Pensions hasn't been the DSS since 31st March 2002)they will probably be defrauding the local council through Housing & Council tax benefits & they are dealt with locally & only need the address & are on the whole very keen, I know a lot of my now ex colleagues have gone across to the Local Authority & they are investigating more cases a lot quicker than our DWP lot do(tell me about them I have referred a lot through information received from employers I built up relationships with when I worked in the old fraud section & they have done nothing due to over load !!!!!!)

Employers cannot dismiss anyone if they believe they are defrauding benefits especially if they find out after two years unless the employees are breaking their contracts(i also have a friend who sits on the Industrial Tribunals)

I would suggest an anonymous phone call to your local council housing/council tax benefits people would be your best option as they share information once they have established that an offence has been committed

Hi Lel, if you think that nothing will be done by reporting them, PM me with the details, I worked as a fraud investigator with DSS until two years ago, I can report them for you and it will also take you out of the firing line, if you feel that might be better.
