The mother of a girl that i used to be friends with has two identities.
With one social number she has a paying job, and with the other social security number she recieves food stamps, section 8 housing and her daughter pays NOTHING for school because of all the free money she qualifies for under her moms “non-working” id.
I always felt it was wrong and wanted to report it but i felt that since she confided in me that she would know i was the one who reported it. We dont talk any longer but i am still hesitant to report it because of the severe consequences that would happen to her mom. But it still is very upsetting to me that she is taking advantage of programs that are meant for people who REALLY need it when she has a job of her own anyway. What should i do? Also what are the legal consequences if she is reported and found guilty of fraud.
What sort of information would i have to give to report it?

People thats right you now have to go for a ID Interview in the UK for your passport it is compulsory! Apprently it is to prevent ID Fraud well is thatthere true agenda are we just getting prepared for National ID! They want to introduce fingerprint scans onto the ID Card ffs give me break! Face-to-face interviews for all will come at some point before 2009 to tie in with the requirement to add further biometric information to passports. The IPS has already started issuing biometric passports that contain details of the holder’s ****** characteristics on a smart chip embedded within. By 2009, European countries covered by the Schengen Agreement are planning to add fingerprint biometrics to their passports. Despite not being covered by the Agreement, the UK will add these too in order that the country does not become an increased target for passport fraudsters. The face-to-face interview will therefore be used to scan the fingerprints of applicants. Source: www.timesonline.co.uk Passport controls lapse for passengers travelling within the Schengen Area. They thus have more time for airport shopping or for relaxing in the lounges. Passengers leaving or entering the Schengen Area continue to undergo passport controls. Passengers flying to the USA will undergo an additional security check.

I see this ruling as a great 1st step in reducing voter fraud. Plus it’s an extremely logical ruling, when you registered as a voter you declared that you are in fact a US Citizen so how can it possibly violate a persons right to vote by requiring they prove they are who they claim to be? Can’t afford an ID? BS !!! Will prevent the poor, elderly or minorities from voting? BS!!!! In over 25 years of public service I have yet to meet a single LEGAL resident of this country who didn’t have some form of Govt issued identification. Don’t want a Government ID, great more power to you just don’t expect to be able to vote.
For those of you who don’t live in California let me share a bit of disturbing information with you. It is now policy here that you will not be asked to show identification before voting, I live here (Ca) and I think this is simply insane. Heck if I want to buy beer or tobacco I’m expected to prove I’m old enough……

Ok, I am not one that checks his credit very often cause I just don’t use it. But I recently got my annual credit report and seen alot of old credit and other strange accounts that are seriously impacting my credit. Some of them date as old as 2001. Is it too late to file fraud affidavit with FTC and get the stuff removed?
