The case reported on the BBC about false tube delay refunds

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7241264.stm

says the offender had made 2000 claims. One wonders how many other
people are making a good living out of this facility.

I wonder why their auditors don't make a point of examining all multiple
claims for the same person, above some reasonable threshold (a couple of
dozen a year, perhaps).

You would hope they are doing, after the first high profile fraud revealed
(in the courts) a few weeks ago. Presumably these cases take quite a few
months to come to trial?

So they would audit everybody claiming over about £50 a year. And how much
does each audit cost. Hardly cost effective, why not spend the money
stopping the bloody delys in the first place.
