Mother Scams Council, Loses Appeal

0:00On April 18th, a 45-year-old mother of four in South London just lost her shot at overturning a fraud conviction after scamming Bexley Council out of over 12,251 pounds. Princess Oganak-Pobor OJ got nailed last July 1st at Woolwich Crown Court for faking homelessness to snack support cash. Her sentence back on September 3rd, 2025, was 26 weeks in jail, suspended for a year, plus rehab days, a nighttime curfew, compensation, and a surcharge. She hit up the council in May 2022, claiming she was homeless, split from her husband, and desperate for her kids, dodging normal public. Funds due to her immigration status, but the council stepped up under kids protection laws anyway. Turns out an anonymous tip sparked the probe, revealing she was running a clothing hustle. Her ex was crashing there on a 37,000-5. And they were even eyeing landbys. Folks were stunned at how she played the system while stacking stock everywhere.

1:03Digging deeper, cops raided her spot in August 2022, finding rooms packed with new clothes and shoes worth over 9,000 pounds. Plus storage units, full of the same. She had hidden bank accounts, a PayPal biz, and docs tied to a shady marriage with a Dutch guy claiming unauthorized benefits. Her appeal got shot down March 11th this year, so she stuck with the penalties, a reminder that councils got to watch clothes when duty calls on. Family support.
