Benefit cheat parents from Aveley sentenced after £60,000 fraud

A BENEFIT cheat mother was jailed after admitting claiming more than £60,000 illegally.

Anuoluwapa Oloyede-Samuel, 42, of Hanford Road, Aveley, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after Southend Crown Court was told she fraudulently claimed Income Support, Housing and Council Tax Benefit from Thurrock Council while she lived in Hanford Road, Aveley.

She claimed her husband, Ololeye Ololeke Oloyede-Samuel, also 42, was not living with her and said she had a tenancy agreement with City Real Estates paying £1,250 rent a month.

Oloyede-Samuel also claimed neither she nor her husband was in paid employment or owned any property, neither of them had any bank accounts except those declared to the council and neither of them had any income except Income Support and Child Benefit.

None of this was true. Investigators found the couple, who have four children aged between two and nine, had received more than £244,256 into undeclared bank accounts while they were taking handouts from the Government and Thurrock Council.

In November 2009, police and investigators from Thurrock Council searched the couple’s home in Hanford Road, Aveley, and seized documents.

Further enquiries into Mr Oloyede-Samuel revealed he was in the country illegally and he had a number of undeclared bank accounts - one of which showed he had been working as a security officer.

Assessors from the Department for Work and Pensions determined Mrs Oloyede-Samuel had no entitlement to Income Support, resulting in an overpayment of £46,165.61 and Thurrock Council assessed that both defendants were overpaid £12,787.49 in Housing Benefit and £1,478.44 in Council Tax Benefit.

Mr Oloyede-Samuel pleaded guilty to giving false information and overclaiming benefits.
He received a one-year sentence suspended for two years and was also ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.

Both had previously been convicted for similar benefit fraud offences by Croydon Council where they given suspended jail sentences, but judge Mr Recorder Royall advised these would not be taken into consideration.

The couple now live in Exeter, Devon.

I'll say it again stop all benefits for non uk birth residents. No jsa no housing benefit nothing then watch this country get rid of those free loaders. Also what about selling the stuff this dodgy couple have to recoup some money they stole ?

Hang on, they now live in Exeter. Did the judge miss the bit about being here illegally. I was under the impression that those here, legally or illegally, that broke the law were immediately the subject of deportation. Has the government just given up on deporting criminals now. Take all their assets. Make her serve her sentence then kick her and her srcounging brood out of the country. Does our illustrious MP know about this and if she does what has she done about it. You can bet you bottom dollar that they are still scrounging benefits in Exeter. Why the Fu**ing hell do we bother paying taxes if the government are just going to give it away to any fu**ing low life that turns up on this country's shores. Cheers to all the liberal bleeding hearts for backing this rip off of our moeny. It just goes to show how much hidden cost there is to being part of the EU that allow these turds to get away with this.

"I must conclude that the benefits fraud department at Thurrock is institutionally racist for only picking on Africans.”

No doubt after reading that comment, Thurrock Council will start to hunt down the English cheats to prove that they believe in 'diversity', 'multiculturalism' and above all.... 'equality'.

'He received a one-year sentence suspended for two years and was also ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.'

Let me get this straight.

1) No jail time
2) 200 hours community service

Effectively he is getting paid £302 per hour to complete this.
Plus he hasn't been deported.

They're all at it! How on earth can they come over here as asylum seekers and within next to no time they've paid off their mortgage, are driving around in top of the range cars, wear designer clothes and are rotten with money? Something just isn't right and this needs investigating.

People who have lived and worked here all their lives are struggling to make ends meet because of our current economic climate, yet these Africans are living lives like Lords and Ladies. It absolutely stinks.

I think it's unfair to tar all Africans with the same brush as I certainly know that many that are standing there in the freezing cold with me waiting for the train at the crack of dawn are not scamming the system but are in fact working hard and bettering themselves. Judging people by new cars is complete rubbish as I could take out a great big loan to buy a new Jag but I'm definately not rolling in it.

However having said that there is a problem with Africans committing fraud in Thurrock and elsewhere. You have to be honest about it if you are to address the issue. Pretending that a specific group are no less prone to certain types of crime is deceptive. Unfortunately the Labour party will call you a racist for saying so.

The only way I can see to end this debacle of benefit fraud by recent (ish) arrivals to our shores is to cut off the tap completely. If you are born here then you are entitled to claim, if you are not then you are owed nothing and should get no help from the state whatsoever. If this is too right wing or harsh then my second idea would be a tough stint in prison followed by immediate deportation of you and the whole family. Needless to say that none of this will happen in liberal, anything goes, Britain so I'll keep going to work to pay for the next set of fraudsters.

2:02pm Thu 14 Mar 13

White British people are also investigated and charged with benefit fraud, but whenever Africans are found guilty of this malpractice, it's always on a larger scale.

They often have tens of thousands of pounds saved up in undeclared bank accounts, use aliases by hijacking another person's identity, using National Insurance numbers of dead people, run businesses which again have not been declared, and some of these people are illegal immigrants.

This problem will only get worse next year when we open the floodgates to Bulgarian and Romanian nationals, both of which, just like Africans, are deceitful and fraudulent.

I saw a programme on BBC One a few months ago concerning credit card fraud in London. Guess who was behind it? Bulgarians, Romanians and Africans.

The farcical thing about this is because of the attitude of the Labour party and the left in general, these people have probably been left alone by most Labour run authorities becasue of the pervading political view that it would be discriminatory to even ask these people whether they were cheating the benefits system. Because of the civil rights brigade and the snarling rabid groups like searchlight, these people are allowed to get away with it. Who would want to be the fraud investigator accusing a black person of defrauding the taxpayer. Cast iron case required or you're out of a job and blacklisted by the rabid left accused of racial discrimination. And probably imprisoned to boot becasue of Labour's draconian discrimination laws. Try to deport them and you have to deal with the european wing of the manic left. I am gobsmacked there hasn't been more riots in this country, not by disaffected downtrodden immigrants and ethnic minorities, but by the majority British population against government after govenrment that does not represent them but feels duty bound to uphold the rights of the rest of the world against the will of the British people. If they won't represent us, they don't deserve to be in power. When the elections come around, vote for next doors cat if they're standing as a candidate, don't vote for any of the three main parties.

Multi culturism...don't you just love it!

I read that only 7% of Thurrocks residents are African. Yet it seems that 90% of these benefit fraud cases are carried out by our NU Labour African imports.

The net cost to UK plc must run into billions. The scale of the theft is staggering. Will JDP raise this in the House of Commons..no chance?

The only Prime Minister that really cared about the UK in recent times was Margaret Thatcher. Regardless of how people vote many will admit that she loved this country and done things which she thought would benefit rather than hinder the UK. She allowed people to be patriotic but detested racism, yet she said things as she saw them.

Politicians nowadays are gagged by the pc brigade. If Jackie Doyle Price stood in the House of Commons and said anything remotely linked to Africans committing fraud disproportionately in her constituency then she would become target number one for the left and the Labour party. The liberal Tory party wouldn't like it either as it would seem like she is picking on one group rather than addressing the issue in a general manner.

Many, many people commit benefit fraud over the years and the only way to stop it is by imposing tough punishments - prison, no entitlement in the first place or deportation.

I don't support that statistic! The African community in Thurrock is way higher than 7%.

Places like Tilbury Town, south Grays, West Thurrock, Chafford Hundred and parts of Purfleet are vastly becoming more and more black areas. Aveley and South Ockendon are also catching up in the ranks.

As soon as a house goes on sale or newly built properties in Thurrock become available, they are more often snatched up by Africans. Additionally, estate agents are also advertising Thurrock properties in London which is why Thurrock has become swarmed with Africans.

Labour has got a lot to answer for when it comes to immigration. Between 2001 and 2011 a staggering 2.2 million foreign nationals settled in the UK which is an absolute scandal. Ed Miliband has addressed this issue and admitted that Labour failed on immigration, but the damage has already been done and is unrepairable.

Our current government has also failed on immigration and has even considered calling an amnesty on immigrants because the Home Office, the UK Border Agency and the police cannot cope with the huge backlog of asylum applications and keeping track on immigrants pending immigration status or deportation.

Admitting defeat is not the answer. It's no wonder UKIP is gaining popularity across the country even more so when we become influxed with Bulgarian and Romanian nationals next year who will bear a huge strain on jobs, housing, the NHS and our over-generous benefits system.

I am not arguing with you! The 7% is the ahem...'official' figure.

On the rare occasions I walk around Grays town centre, I as a white English person AM! the ethnic minority.
.
However there are not that many in North Grays or Corringham or Stanford Le Hope for now!!

BTW I wonder if the tax revenues raised from our African assets, exceeds the additional on costs of having them here? How do tax revenues compare to the additional health, educational, welfare and pension entitlements incurred by UK plc.

I have a nasty feeling the latter exceeds the former by some margin. Our political elites have really messed this one up.

Maybe JDP will raise this in the House of Commons in the future?

I wasn't having a go at you either and I'm sorry if I came across that way :-)

The so-called "official figure" of 7% is, in my opinion, absolute nonsense and I would suggest Jackie Doyle Price investigates this and gives us an honest and definitive answer.

Realistically, I would suggest this figure is between 20 and 25% given the large African communities in parts of Thurrock.

As for African business people and tax avoidance, it stands to reason that as there is a high proportion of Africans committing benefit and identity fraud, tax avoidance is more than likely on their agenda.

And when things start to fall apart, the first thing the government does is blame the staff working in the department, like the Virgin west coast rail fiasco last year which will cost the taxpayer £44m.

Te census figures for 2001 and 2011 show an increase in population of around 4 million. The truthful figure on immigration is around 600,000 immigrants a year coming to this country. THe net ,igration figures quoted include people leaving the country, large numbers of which are British born. The immigration problem in this country is wholly the fault of the Labour party. Don't believe the Labour party when they say they won't do it again. They've only said they won't becasue the three main parties have united against UKIP. It's a lie as is the lie from the Tories and the Lib Dems that they are tackling the issue. They are not. The fatc remains that what you see now is the deliberate policies of the Labour party.

The reason why a proper debate on immigration cannot be had is because some people use it as an excuse to be offensive. Debating immigration is not just about the race of people coming in, it's about a lack of language, failure to adapt and integrate, the pressures it puts on schools and hospitals, the damage it can do to well established communities. Descending into stupid rants, as seen above, just helps the left wing to shut the argument down and accuse everybody with a negative view on immigration as racist.

I don't doubt that Thurrock Trojan is right when he says that people moved to Thurrock to get away from immigrant communities in East London and the perceived degredation of those areas but at the same time many of these people still voted/vote for the Labour party. All but two of Thurrocks MPs have been Labour since 1945 so while people moan/ed about immigration they stupidly voted for the party that most advocated it in the first place. The immigration of the 40s/50s and early 60s was nothing compared to what the country has gone through in the last decade. Immigration is also less contained and has affected places like Thurrock which traditionally had a small non white population.

Hugh is right to point out that the problem is a Europe wide issue, the EU seems to want to dilute Europe and immigration is an excellent way to do it as people will have no allegiance to a country but to 'Europe'.

A small point....Lenny Henry was born in Dudley, his family originated from Jamaica....a country which has zero links with Africa (for over 300 years) so I doubt he is involved in Red Nose Day to help 'his own kind'.

People should be grouped together by nation not by race.

"No she wasn't. I suggest you echo your comment to the millions of people she made unemployed and the parts of the country she deprived, some of which have never recovered.”

Most people would rather Thatcher to any of the men who came after her. At least she stood up for this country. I certainly do not think she would have signed us up to more of the EU nonsense unlike Major, Blair and Brown. Without that woman we would have been bankrupt and receiving aid not pouring money all over the third world.

You're right though, many suffered once our economy changed in the 80s and some places are still recovering now.

You're absolutely obsessed with this and have no idea what you're talking about.

You would rather our European overlords dictate the competitiveness of our banking system?

They pay big taxes on their bonuses and they could just upsticks and move out of the UK, booking in their trades remotely.

PS, there are FAR more banks than just the newly nationalised banking houses that the media tell you about before you rant on about bailouts.

Thurrock Trojan - 'Let's not forget how quickly the incompetent George Osborne flew out to Brussels last week to save his banker-buddies' bonuses!' You're absolutely obsessed with this and have no idea what you're talking about. You would rather our European overlords dictate the competitiveness of our banking system? They pay big taxes on their bonuses and they could just upsticks and move out of the UK, booking in their trades remotely. PS, there are FAR more banks than just the newly nationalised banking houses that the media tell you about before you rant on about bailouts.
Correction: I know exactly what I'm talking about and this is yet more evidence of who's side this rotten government is on. They say we're 'all in this together' when we're clearly not.

"No she wasn't. I suggest you echo your comment to the millions of people she made unemployed and the parts of the country she deprived, some of which have never recovered.” Most people would rather Thatcher to any of the men who came after her. At least she stood up for this country. I certainly do not think she would have signed us up to more of the EU nonsense unlike Major, Blair and Brown. Without that woman we would have been bankrupt and receiving aid not pouring money all over the third world. You're right though, many suffered once our economy changed in the 80s and some places are still recovering now.
Tony Blair is to blame for a lot of this. His biggest mistake was signing the Human Rights Act which has caused endless problems for this country.

John Major also signed us up in Europe and it's only fair he also takes some of the blame.

Millions of pounds with of aid has been sent to Africa over the last 40 years but they're still in the same situation. Why do they keep having kids when they know they'll die of hunger and disease?

Whenever you see these commercials showing the African begging bowl, it makes me so angry. The parents, especially the women, are bloated and are clearly well fed whereas their children are malnourished and dying.

These idiots need to be educated not to keep popping out sprogs and to become self-sufficient rather than relying on the West to keep feeding them.

Sterilise the woman and castrate the men in these decrepit African countries; it's the only solution to a problem they have created.

Exactly what I have been saying for years, there is no way these useless turds in Africa will stop pushing out sprogs. Couple of reasons really:
1. They haven't any brain cells.
2. They have no respect for life.
3. They are selfish ponces, and deserve everything they get.
Apart from all that, apparently they aren't that bad really. :o)

A couple of very interesting things have been said above

1."These idiots need to be educated not to keep popping out sprogs and become self sufficent"

2. Sterilise the women and castrate the men"

You could also apply this to the chavy scum that plague the streets of Thurrock hey?! They could then stop relying on us tax payers feeding them.

I think this could be the only solution to a problem they have created. Because they also:
1. Have no brain cells
2. No respect for life
3. Are selfish
Apart from all that the chavs aren't that bad really. :o)
