Fraudulent collection of employment benefit

Must have been some years ago. Nowadays Sw X-refs with college lists of students (PPSNs now recorded by colleges and county councils) so they've caught up with that one! Must have been a great scam pre-computer days though.

Yeah was thinking about that last night, it WAS some years ago. It was before we all had those little Social Services Cards sent out (pre computer records days for sure) - it wouldnt work today, unless you had 2 of those cards with different numbers. I do know a young lad (15ish) who was sent two of those cards, there is a difference in spelling of his name on them, so he has 2 PPS numbers. (Or had, I think his mother sorted it out when it happened).
On a side note - what age do they send those cards out now?
