reward for "shopping" someone?

[henry royce]

I think it would be a good idea if the Benefits agency offered a reward for shopping a cheat!, say £500 or even £1,000, for that someone may even shop their own brother!, think of the long term cash they would save though?, good idea?

If its a burberry wearing tracksuit gimping spacklord chavster, then yes I'd shop them.

If its your uncle Bob, whos finding paying the mortgage hard lately, then no I wouldn't shop them.

I think the Burberry wearing chavster would happily shop his uncle Bob, for £500.

Jesus - what sort of society are we creating/living in?

Paranoia is the law, mistrust & deceit the creed.

I've got no problem with people 'shopping' the classic benefit fraudsters, they are truly a despicable breed but this, this has the smell of Oceania about it and frankly, it absolutely disgusts me.

I agree with shopping the benefit fraudsters, although I do believe that even if the government saved millions on benefit fraud being reported they would just use it on speed cameras or something (why stop when one is on a roll... )

However this is almost like the nazi era where people were positivly encouraged to grass on their neighbors!

I thought we fought in the war to STOP this kind of thing!

Sir,

In my experience, I've found that people only feel the need to point out the wronddoing of others, when they themselves are standing at the kerbside having been stopped by the police.

Well said that man! What sort of a society are we becoming when it is acceptable to shop people for minor law transgresses?

Speed cameras do it all the time

This appears to be an entirely unofficial site operated by an individual. It's almost as unsavoury as whatever you're reporting.

BTW, www.crimestoppersuk.org points to the same place.

One of my favorite quotes. Keeps me in line sometimes...

You could have a good scam out of this , once you get the dirt on someone from the website form, just contact them and blackmail them.
