What are you talking about? Food stamp fraud from 1982? What food store doesn’t use a scanner? No food stamp/debit card is going to work on alchohol. Heck, I saw one lady in front of me have a balance of cash left to pay after food stamps were deducted because she got the wrong chicken out of the deli case that wasn’t “EBT approved”.
The fraud is massive - took 5 years to arrest these people:
Arrests made in $2 million food stamp fraud scheme (10:52 a.m.) - Recordnet - 03/27/2009
Brothers Ahmad Khan, 51, and Mumraiz Khan, 48, are charged with conspiracy, food stamp fraud, money laundering and conducting a monetary transaction in criminally derived property. Ahmad Khan’s daughter, Naheed Khan, 23, is charged with conspiracy.
In the alleged scheme, the three bought food stamps at 50 cents on the dollar from customers at the Smoke Shop & Snack at 425 E. Miner Avenue. The shop had been allowed to redeem food stamps for the last five and a half years, prosecutors said.
By law, only eligible food stamp recipients can buy food at authorized stores. The brothers drew the money-laundering charge on suspicion that they transferred money to Pakistan.
Your wrong. Seen it first hand in my state of Texas and reported the store that abused that system !
