The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has shared some shameless photoshop fails from fraudsters claiming to live in the UK and claiming benefits.
There was a surge in Universal Credit claims from abroad during the coronavirus pandemic, the DWP said. One picture shows a man crudely photoshopped outside a front door after being asked to send proof he lived in the UK.
Digital forensic analysts and investigators from the DWP's counter fraud office in Newcastle have been working through the bogus claims, which totalled £8.6bn last year, reports ChronicleLive.
