Erm... better luck next time eh 🧐

The Department for Work and Pensions has released hapless photoshop fails sent in by benefit fraudsters - trying to prove they live in the UK.

One shows a woman holding a toddler, another a couple outside a home - but are all clearly fake photoshopped images. They have been shared by the DWP's counter fraud office - which says fake claims add up to billions each year. Officials say ''there is no suggestion that the people in these images have committed fraud or they are in any way affiliated with the location they are pictured at''. It is thought the fraudsters just use photos they find online and paste them.
