If you were at the supermarket and someone walks up to you and offered to pay for all your groceries
 

with an EBT card, what would you do?

Smack him upside the head say I don't need your handout

try to get his/her name and report them

I was at the gas station the other night, A woman wearing scrubs bought her soda using a ebt card, then went out side and got in her late model Escalade.

Who knows, Maybe it was her boyfriends truck?

Get as much grape soda as I could.

.

the "scam" is that they will want some cash afterwards :2 cents:

It's free, swipe your EBT!

of course it was her boyfriend's car, welfare fraud is a very rare occurrence, it occurs only .027% of the time, at least that's what the socialist media keeps telling everyone... :1orglaugh

keep walking thats illegal dogg. not worth it

Maybe she is on welfare because all her money goes to the car payment.

Every time someone tells a story of EBT card abuse, it always has them driving an Escalade.

That's code for it never happened.

Was it a hahahaha

I was at the gas station the other night, A woman wearing scrubs bought her soda using a ebt card, then went out side and got in her late model Ferrari.

Who knows, Maybe it was her boyfriends Ferrari?

It's not made up. But I don't know her situation, Could have been a sugar daddy's truck, Or her parents. I don't know maybe it was hers.

I'd say no thanks, I've got my own.

i had a huge blowout with a friends girl over this. she thought it was perfectly fine to buy steak and crab legs on an ebt card....i was like "don't you think you should be buying meals for your kids to eat"? i guess she didn't appreciate that much....she deleted me off facebook

These days, you are not required to sell your house or car in order to get benefits. It's also possible to have gotten employment in the last few months and still have money on your EBT card. So really in the same way you see fat people in the gym, it's totally possible to see a situation like that and it's totally, 100 % legit.

Also, do you know that benefits like food stamps roll over unused amounts to the next month? You could go off food stamps and have the money still on the card months later if you don't use it.

When I reported to them that I made too much money to keep receiving benefits, I evidently didn't send them proof of that so they kept refilling the card for two months without me knowing. The next time I went to the store I knew I had 18 bucks left on it so I swiped it and then swiped my credit card. Well imagine my surprise when the entire amount went on the EBT card, plus had a couple of hundred bucks balance. Now I have to call them and find out how to be certain I'm off of it. But the amount on there, according to my understanding, will still be there for me to use until the balance is zero. Maybe I'll post back on Monday after I speak to someone.

Another thing is that for myself, being single and frugal, I usually spend about 150 bucks a month on groceries. Total. I also walk, so the amount I get is limited to what I can carry. Now, receiving 200 a month in food stamps was great, but I couldn't spend it all on my normal things. I COULD have gotten the most expensive steaks and the most exotic cheese and black truffles. That's how it goes man. If it has a nutrition label, it's "food" basically.

on the 1st or 2nd in my area you are guaranteed to get asked if you want to buy an EBT card in the parking lot of any major store

They sell it for half the value of the card

Wow people commit fraud??
