This caught my eye today in The Telegraph:

Richard Jackson, 43, a clairvoyant and medium, was paid £37,000 over three years for giving the readings to customers from his flat in Whitefield, near Bury, greater Manchester.

At the same time, he was claiming £5,000 in state handouts.

Jackson made £240 a week from an American company which employed him, magistrates in Bury were told.

But, like the article later went on to quote:

A source at Bury council said: “He was obviously not a very good psychic – he certainly didn’t see this coming.”

Well I suppose that’s one case of benefit fraud found. Now just for the other million or so!
