Hi,

From about 2 months, I signed for a first aid course in Red Cross but it's not really a course. The manager said it's for refugees and we just need to sign our name and the government will give us 200$, so I did and I took 200$. Also there are a lot of people who did the same thing and he said he would need our drivers licence and tax number so the government can make sure we are not working and we are a refugee.

But after 2 months, I received a letter from the Department of Education and they said I have signed for 2 courses in business and all my family received the same thing. If we need to continue receiving Vet Fee Help as they changed the roles for Vet Fee Help and in the letter they gave me the password to add it to my account. And they did that to hundreds of people.

So what should I do?

Thanks
