Those who overclaimed £200 in 10 years by ticking the wrong box will be targeted in the clampdown on benefits fiddlers, writes Peter Rhodes.

You are a "bounty hunter" company, appointed by the Government to track down benefits fiddlers, writes Peter Rhodes.

You are responsible for the health and safety of your employees.

So which dodgers do you go after:

* The Dead End Massive. Members of this large extended family have never worked or made an income-tax return and claim £3,000 a month in benefits.

They have two Range Rovers with smoked windows on the drive and their front door is guarded by very large men in leather jackets.

* Granny Smith. Lives alone, failing eyesight. Overclaimed £200 in 10 years by ticking the wrong box.

No contest, eh?
