Is there someway you could alert authorities? Or do they even care? Fraud is a felony; especially with federal money. Or am I thinking about a different era...(rhetorical)
I’m sure it’s going on in the small town I live in but they are less apt to ‘brag’. Hard to spot really.
I’ve send some anonymous tips to the State agency but unfortunately it seems the people who work in the city are friends or family of those involved in these type of scams. For example, not the same person/situation I mentioned bu this is a local news story of how government officials are a part of what happens but when they are caught, people just look the other way. This is a housing scam that was caught in the past couple of weeks.
The city workers who were involved in the scam were given a whopping 2 days without pay... (this goes way deeper than what this articles suggests and now the landlord is being sued by the scammers..)
I have been told that in some areas around me people are “cold-calling”, actually knocking on doors to find someone who will give them half price for groceries paid for with an “EBT” card. Apparently there is an oversupply!
