Series looking at benefit fraud. A fraudster seeking asylum from Sierra Leone also claims to be a hard-working single mum. But she is suspected of running a sophisticated scam.

Dominic Littlewood presents a series looking at the work of fraud investigators searching out benefit thieves and meets the people they are stealing from - the genuine claimants.

A fraudster seeking asylum from war torn Sierra Leone in West Africa also claims to be a hard-working single mum who needs help paying the rent. But she is suspected of running a sophisticated scam using dual identities to flout the immigration laws, and cheat the benefit system out of over 70,000 pounds.

Plus an organisation that offers help to vulnerable, old or disabled people, and jobs for young people.
