World Record: 500 people living in a one bedroom flat

Benefit fraudsters have made a staggering £1 million pounds by claiming that 100 people lived in their 3 bedroom ex-council flat in, you guessed  it, Peckham.


Interestingly, Criminals used the personal details of people who had stopped claiming unemployment benefits to trick workers into handing over the cash.Two crooked Department for Work and Pensions workers are thought to have handed them information used in the scam.

The Nigerian Akinmayone Aiyeloa, who co-owns the flat, was questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud over £20,000. Neighbors of the first-floor flat, purchased from Southwark Council for £67,000 in 2004, have said that just four people live in the flat.


It has been worked out that benefit fraud and errors by the Department for Work and Pensions cost the taxpayer a massive £5.2billion per year.

She also stated that:
'we need to do more to educate youngsters that it is wrong to carry knives'


Would a petition really get the message across to the Scottish Government?
