'Single' mother's £6,500 benefits con exposed after she announced marriage on Facebook and Friends Reunited
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A mother who fraudulently claimed thousands of pounds in single parent benefits got caught after telling friends she had got married – on the internet sites Friends Reunited AND Facebook.

Claire Harborne, 35, received £6,519 in housing benefits and council tax after telling the authorities she was a single mum.

But council officers caught her out when they found a message on her Friends Reunited profile which stated she was ‘happily married’. A further message confirming her marriage was discovered on Facebook.
Harborne, who also claims on her Friends Reunited page that she owns an Aston Martin DB9, refused to comment on the matter.

There was no sign of the luxury car outside her home.

She also states on her page: ‘I have a little girls who is 8yrs. She’s at school now.

‘I still act like the village idiot like I did at school but I always say that laughter is the best medicine.’
