I am receipt of a French 'State' retirement pension for my years worked in France, and when I applied for it last year I had to jump through several hoops. They even asked Newcastle to verify my U.K. State pension amount, that of my wife etc etc. They pay me what I am entitled too but the screening was rigorous. Successive U.K Governments have cut back on Benefits Agency budgets and the scammers move in for the kill.
Punkers is on benefit, he's Nigerian by the way
