[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 392362, member: 1514"] Honey you would be amazed at the things I have seen in my years as a welfare fraud investigator!!! I can honestly say that one of the top 10 has to the woman who drove down from the Research Triangle area of NC to Robeson Cnty to apply for our measly little Christmas Stocking fund. Research Triangle is the area up where Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill all come together and some of the best of the best research in pharmaceuticals comes out of that area. Im sure other research is done there too but the big names like J&J, Glaxo, Merk, etc are there. Well this woman was married to a man who worked as a researcher with a dozen letters after his name at one of these companies. I cant remember how many but he was so far past BS, I had no idea what to call the man...lol. In other words, they made a killing each year. Our Christmas Stocking fund was for $25 per child. She came down, used a friends address and told us she had recently moved to the area with her two children. Said she was home schooling them and provided forged paperwork. She was rather good. She got those two vouchers for either Walmart of Kmart and a basket of food. Problem came when someone tipped off her friend. Friend was mortified because friend lived in one of our more affluent neighborhoods, not that we actually have any to compare to where her friend actually lived but she was still worried it could come back to bite her on the backside. She called in to report the claim. When we started the investigation, my partner and I were astounded. This womans husband was irate! It could have cost him his job. He immediately paid off anything she got. That really didnt satisfy me. I wanted her prosecuted. She plead to a misdemeanor and got probation and ordered to counseling. [/QUOTE]
