From a friend who works in a bank, locally…
“An Immigrant came in last week to open a bank account. Two days later he had £1,500 in Benefits paid in.
Today he came back because his card was blocked (due to suspected fraud) when trying to buy a brand new top of the range £1,300 iPhone. Our Fraud Dept. then unblocked the card and he purchased his new phone (with the benefits we gave him…).
He doesn’t need money to live on because the hotel gives him all his food and lodgings and the hotel is (fully) paid by the Government.
This was just one customer – they all do this and come in with their top of the range phones!”
Q (from me) “I thought you needed tons and tons of proof of identity and (a very) permanent address to open an account?”
A “Oh no; there are exceptions for them of course…”
My apologies Admin, there is no Link, only the link between Government Generosity and the Immigration Invasion.
